Designed as an enhanced version of the YDS-120, it notably offers new sounds, a more up-to-date USB-C connection, optimized sensors for improved durability, and an innovative analog controller.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts goal is simple: to preserve the essential sensations of playing the saxophone while eliminating volume and space constraints. Musicians can still enjoy blowing, articulating, and playing with their fingers, at home or on the go, without having to deal with the sound level of an acoustic saxophone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Digital Saxophone for Learning, Practicing, and Expressing Yourself Freely\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe YDS-122 is aimed at beginners who want to discover the saxophone in comfortable conditions, as well as intermediate and advanced saxophonists looking for a silent practice instrument. The key layout, based on that of Yamaha acoustic saxophones, makes the transition easier for players already familiar with traditional fingerings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts wide range of voices makes it possible to explore classical music, pop, jazz, contemporary music, or improvisation. The saxophone sounds cover the soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone registers, while the other built-in instruments open the door to more original colors: flute, shakuhachi, trumpet, violin, and electronic sounds, among others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBreath, Dynamics, and Playing Feel at the Heart of Performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Yamaha YDS-122 relies on a \u003cstrong\u003ebreath sensor\u003c\/strong\u003e, a system that analyzes the air pressure sent into the mouthpiece. The more controlled the breath, the more the musician can influence the intensity and timbre of the note. This approach encourages expressive playing, with full low notes, more delicate highs, and dynamics suited to each musical phrase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe specially designed mouthpiece allows the player to produce sound without having to manage the vibration of a traditional reed. It therefore provides a highly accessible solution for working on finger placement and breath control. As it is removable, it also simplifies routine instrument maintenance. The new analog controller complements the playing experience by providing an additional expressive control within easy reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSound reproduction is handled by a digital generator and a bell-type acoustic mechanism. The \u003cstrong\u003ebell\u003c\/strong\u003e is the flared section located at the end of a saxophone: on the YDS-122, this principle helps provide a more natural sense of sound dispersion while playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:3;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e3620 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUSB\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:2;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003edigital saxophone\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePractice functions via Rec\u0026#039;n\u0026#039;Share\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003etempo change, A-B repeat and click track\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Yamaha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67649777729811,"sku":"439853","price":1020.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/53adcd7be39f469d13173ca7c73da3ee6a04126c_YDS152.jpg?v=1791896581","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/yamaha-yds-152-digital-saxophone-439853","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
