This saxophone is a great sax for beginners. I got mine 4 years ago, and even after high school marching band, and jazz band, it is playing great. It really holds up well. It also is very comfortable to play, and the key layout feels natural. The sound from this horn is also great. It's rich, and balanced. This isn?t the best choice if you are going for a really specific sound, but for someone who wants to pick up a tenor to learn, or for a gift for a student, this is perfect.
Yes, there are other student models that are cheaper, but the YTS-23 is worth the money. The overall build quality is good enough so people learning the saxophone don't have to worry about it easily breaking on them. The key action, while obviously not as smooth as higher end tenors, doesn't feel clunky.
I got one of these 1995 for the high school marching band. To this day it is still a great saxophone, this horn has had rough life, and it still plays great! 15 years later I finally upgraded to the Yamaha Allegro, not because I needed to, but because I wanted to. I use the Vandoren Jumbo Java T-95, and I've been able to play everything from legit to swing...
My YTS-23 was made in 1993. After all that time, the lacquer is worn but not too badly, the pads are still in good shape, and it plays in tune without much work. Not much more I can ask for in a backup tenor (My primary instrument is a Selmer Mark VI). It only really gives up to the Selmer in terms of keywork smoothness and it's a touch less flexible in terms of tone. Considering that it really does come close to a good VI, that makes the 23 very worth it at almost any price, although they do depreciate a lot in value from new to used.
Ive had this sax for over 5 years. It has been marched with for four years straight living in oregon it has gotten wet alot. The original pads seem to be fine even with all its abuse. This is the most comfortable sax ever, everything is in the right place and is super light, my only con is there is no F# key. this is okay because it isn't meant to last as long as ive been playing it. especially for the tenor player a highschooler doesnt need an F# key.
