Yamaha YDS-122 Digital Saxophone Headphone Set

Yamaha YDS-122 - More sounds, a modern connection and endless playing enjoyment!

The Yamaha YDS-122 is a versatile digital saxophone that combines authentic saxophone playing with the practical advantages of modern digital technology. As the successor to the popular YDS-120, this digital saxophone offers two key improvements: an expanded selection of 87 sounds instead of 73, and a modern USB-C connection in place of the previous Micro-USB port. With 56 saxophone timbres, a sensitive breath sensor, saxophone-style key layout and 15-step volume control, the YDS-122 is ideal for beginners, experienced saxophonists and anyone who wants to practise flexibly at home, on the go or with headphones.

More sound variety than the YDS-120!

The Yamaha YDS-122 expands on its predecessor's musical possibilities with additional instrument sounds. A total of 87 preset sounds are available, including 56 saxophone sounds for soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophones. This means the new model offers 14 more timbres than the YDS-120. Alongside classic saxophone sounds, you can also use other wind instruments, electronic timbres and additional instrument voices. Yamaha's high-quality AWM sampling technology ensures natural, nuanced sound reproduction. Whether you play jazz, pop, classical or experimental music, this digital wind instrument gives you an impressive range of musical expression.

USB-C instead of Micro-USB - a modern connection!

Another key new feature of the YDS-122 is its updated USB TO HOST port. While the YDS-120 was equipped with Micro-USB Type B, the new digital saxophone features USB-C. This lets you connect the instrument to compatible computers and mobile devices using a modern connection. The port supports functions such as MIDI and communication with the Yamaha YDS Controller app. A suitable USB power source can also be used to power the instrument via this connection.

Natural feel with saxophone fingering!

The Yamaha YDS-122's key layout is based on that of an acoustic saxophone. Experienced saxophonists can therefore use their familiar fingering, while beginners benefit from a practical playing style. The integrated breath sensor detects air pressure and allows dynamic control of sound production. Combined with the analog controller, it lets you play expressively. The specially designed mouthpiece simplifies sound production, as no traditional saxophone embouchure is required. The mouthpiece can be removed for easy cleaning.

Practise flexibly - even with headphones!

The 15-step volume control lets you adapt the instrument to different practice situations. Play directly through the built-in speaker, or use the headphone jack for quiet, uninterrupted practice. An additional AUX IN input allows you to connect external audio sources, so you can, for example, play along with music from a smartphone. The headphone output is used to play back the external audio signal.

Personal settings with the YDS Controller app!

The Yamaha YDS Controller app makes it easy to adjust instrument settings and sound parameters. You can also change the fingering to suit your personal preferences. This makes the YDS-122 a great choice both for regular saxophone practice and for creative work with different sounds. The free Yamaha Rec'n'Share app also lets you record and share performances using compatible mobile devices.

A portable digital saxophone for everyday music-making!

The Yamaha YDS-122 can be powered by four AAA batteries or a suitable USB power source. Its compact design makes it a practical companion for music lessons, rehearsals and personal practice sessions. The combination of classic saxophone fingering, digital sound variety and adjustable volume is ideal for flexible music-making. Compared with the YDS-120, the YDS-122 stands out in particular for its larger sound selection and updated USB-C connection, while retaining the proven core playing features.

Comfortable stereo headphones

The KH-238 delivers full, balanced sound with rich bass and clear highs. It offers plenty of volume while still providing precise, clear stereo imaging. The soft-padded, wide headband is adjustable in length. With 12 adjustment steps on each side, it can be fitted just right. For extra comfort, the ear cups swivel on two axes. The thick, soft padding on the around-ear cups also provides good isolation from external noise. The in-line volume control is always within reach, making the headphones easier to use with a PC or MP3 player. The 3.5 mm stereo jack plug ensures excellent signal transmission, and a 6.3 mm stereo jack adapter is also included.
