A More Convenient And Liberating Way To Play The Saxophone

The YDS-120 combines acoustic and digital technologies into a new form, giving you the ability to control your volume at will, so that you can play anywhere you want. Just lift it to your lips and blow to unlock a total of 56 voices for the soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone saxophone. Enjoy the variety of expression the saxophone can deliver from the very first note. *You can also play with the voices of other instruments, giving you a total of 73 instruments to work with. With the same key configuration as its acoustic brethren, the YDS-120 combines a breath sensor for expression, an analog controller, and your own breath, offering you true freedom of expression.
Volume Control

Volume Control

Tamp down your volume while retaining the tonal colors of a saxophone. Fifteen volume levels and a headphone jack allow you to enjoy playing, without worrying about being too loud.

Acoustic System

Acoustic System

A breath sensor detects air blown into the mouthpiece, while a digital sound generator drives a speaker to produce sounds transmitted through a simple horn-type acoustic mechanism.

Mouthpiece

Mouthpiece

Simply blowing into the specially-designed mouthpiece allows you to produce sound without having to worry about your embouchure (the way you shape your mouth). The mouthpiece can also be removed for easy maintenance.

Breath Sensor

Breath Sensor

The breath sensor detects the strength (pressure) of your breath, allowing you to control not only the strength, but also the tone of your sound as you play.

Key Layout

Key Layout

The key layout is based on Yamaha’s acoustic saxophones, providing seamless usability. You can also change fingering using a dedicated app.

Full-scale Sampling

Full-scale Sampling

We teamed up with professional performers to sample the sounds of Yamaha acoustic saxophones—soprano, alto, tenor and baritone—meticulously recorded in whole tones, so that you can enjoy a natural sound without any hint of incongruity.
