- In this video, top UK Sax Player Alastair Penman discusses and demonstrates the Yamaha YSS-475 Soprano Sax, available via:
www.dawkes.co....
The YSS-475II Soprano Sax delivers professional qualities at an intermediate price. Much of its design is based upon the more expensive Pro and Custom saxes, and it shares many of the same features. The 475 offers outstanding response, tone, and intonation, as well as a comfortable playability.
Many saxophonists moving from alto or tenor saxophone can sometimes find the soprano sax harder to play. The 4C mouthpiece supplied with the YSS-475II makes the instrument very free blowing whilst the lightweight body makes it easy to hold. The body is designed to give maximum response and good intonation whilst giving the player optimum tone quality.

Thank GOD for people like you, Sir. I loved your style of delivery to camera. You come across as a top bloke and a lovely gentleman. All the best for you. You are a brilliant player of that instrument. Years of dedication. I had it myself at one stage with the guitar, but I haven't picked up the guitar in years. All the best.
Very clever little Bass Clarinet and Soprano duet, liked it!
Loved the duet and you have a beautiful tone! Neat that folks can rent a soprano at Dawkes. very difficult to rent anything other than a tenor and alto where I live in the US. I just bought a YSS 475ii (normally play alto) and it's arriving in a few days. Can't wait to play it!
Thanks so much for this review of the YSS 475! I bought one (my first sax) based partially on this review. I live in Germany, so I bought one from a domestic retailer so I could try in the store, but I'm still really thankful you're putting this stuff out here!
Hallo Aaron, ich Spiele diese Sop, ist echt Super 👍👍👍
Beautiful instrument and beautifully played young man!! I took up the soprano sax last Christmas, as it was a present from my husband. I've got a Trevor James, and I'm pleased with it, but it's lovely to hear what other makes of soprano are like with regards to tone and sound quality. I'm finding the soprano quite challenging, but hey ho, it's still early days, so I've just got to keep persevering. I also have an alto, and have been playing that since 1982. Bring on the music!!
I play this soprano and I have no complaints 👍 a great all rounder. Nice playing a great demo.
Great to hear!
Sounds wonderful!
Thank you,nice sound and nice playing as well
nice shout out to JSB!
Have you had the chance to play the YSS 475 from the first series, not the II? Would you say it's comparable?
What is the song you played does it have a title, it was very nice 👍😊
Thanks Veronica, it's called Double or Quits and is the last movement from a larger work called Three Miniatures! There are a few different arrangements of the piece, but there is info about the sax version on my website at www.alastairpenman.co.uk/compositions/three-miniatures-sax/
@@alastairpenman It's gorgeous, but I have to admit, it doesn't sound like jazz too me! It sounds like classical with some jazz influence!
What song were you playing in the intro?
i need to learn how to play this.
What mouthpiece are you using in the video?
Bonjour, pouvez-vous me donner le nom du modèle de votre bec et de votre anche ? Votre son est juste magnifique !!!!
Wow
