What Else Will I need
Before you buy – important information for parents
Yamaha 200 Series saxophones are supplied as a complete student outfit, so most essentials are already included:
- Protective case – For safe transport and storage
- Mouthpiece – Ready to play from the first lesson
- Ligature and cap – Secures the reed to the mouthpiece
To get started comfortably, we also recommend:
- Reeds – Essential for sound production (usually strength 1.5–2 for beginners)
- Neck strap – Supports correct posture and reduces strain
- Cleaning kit (recommended) – Helps keep the instrument in good condition
If you’re unsure which reed strength or accessories are most suitable, our team is happy to advise before you buy.
