Review: My professor's recommendation - Amazing instrument.
Review: 友人たちのジャズの生演奏を聴いていて「いつかサックスを吹いてみたい」と心の中で温めていたのですが、自分はまったくの初心者ということもあり、いきなりサックスというのは「敷居が高い」と思い、まずはJ-Saxというおもちゃのような楽器を購入しました。それから２ヵ月ほど経って、１オクターブ半ほどの音域しか演奏できないJ-Saxでは満足できなくなり、YouTubeのレビュー動画などをいくつか参照したうえで、思い切って購入したのがこのYamaha YAS-280でした。 すでにJ-Saxでリード楽器の吹き方はわかっていたし、基本的に運指も同じなので、すぐにYAS-280を吹いて音を出すことができました。ちなみに僕の場合、自宅で趣味としてサックスを演奏しているので、近所の迷惑にならぬよう、e-Saxという防音シールドを被せて練習するようにしています。 初心者なので他のサックス機種との比較についてはわかりませんが、少なくともこのYAS-280は比較的重量も軽いようですし、初心者でも扱いやすく、吹いていて愛着が湧いてくる楽器だと思います。タンポもトーンホールも作りがしっかりしており、サムフックは演奏者の手に合わせて若干高さを調整できるようになっています。 現在、YAS-280を吹いて自分の好きな曲を練習しながら、リードの種類を変えてみたり、異なるマウスピースを試してみたりして、自分の理想の音を模索しているところです。
