Re: Purchasing sax for 6th grader
The YAS475 is more an intermediate level horn, and a step above a YAS23, but the YAS23 is a GREAT beginner horn. The YAS 475 has a few features that would be better if he decided to continue playing beyond high school. The YAS 475 and YAS 62 are constructed a differently than the 23 and I think they have a better tone also. The YAS 52 is constructed more like the YAS 23, only with a hi F# key, and is also considered an intermediate model.
The model that impressed me the most is the YAS 62 Series II (intermediate-pro level) which sells for around $1900. GREAT horn for the money!
