Yanagisawa Alto Saxophone, Bronze, Unlacquered (AWO20U)

AW020U - Elite Model.

The upgraded replacement for the highly regarded A992 series, this AWO20 bronze model is an instrument for the accomplished player. It delivers a superb tonal range with an unmistakably darker edge thanks to the fine bronze body, and it also benefits from the WO series re-engineered bore and toneholes, and re-sourced and redesigned core brass material.

This model also has many upgraded features exclusive to the WO series such as newly designed Front F Keys, Ride Side Keys and Right Pinky Key.

This Unlacquered model will rapidly discolour and tarnish, quickly giving a wonderfully vintage appearance. The bronze AWO20 is capable of evoking an extraordinarily broad palette of tonal colors and shades. Key of Eb. Range from low Bb to high F#. All hand engraved. Yanagisawa 'Elite' models are true player's instruments that represent the pinnacle of saxophone craftsmanship. Delivering a moderate level of resistance, the accomplished player can discover a truly effortless tone with unrivalled depth and flexibility, and a genuinely unparalleled freedom of expression.
