The Korena take
Built as a standard-level alto for developing musicians, the YAS-26 brings Yamaha design elements into an instrument focused on response, intonation, and tone. Its redesigned neck receiver is intended to make playing feel more immediate, while the revised Low B-C# connection supports clear response in the low register. The adjustable thumb hook lets a player refine hand and fingering position as their setup develops. Finished with a lacquer body and nickel keys, it includes a Yamaha 4C mouthpiece.
