Yamaha YAS-23 Alto Review

Good Points
Excellent action for a student horn, playability is excellent, very good quality for price.

Bad Points
Pads and resonators, pin spring material is of lower quality, aligning action is difficult, but not impossible,

General Comments
For a student horn this instrument plays very well, no frustration for the beginner, far, far superior to many of the no name brands selling for two thirds to three quarters of the price, and the no name brands that sell for $800 can't even get close to this horn.
