Yanagisawa A-W01 Alto Saxophone (Brass)

The Yanagisawa AWO1 is defined by tonal excellence and unparalleled Japanese build quality. Yanagisawa built on the success of the legendary A901 and have been able to make an alto sax for those wanting to take music seriously.

Yanagisawa has redesigned the saxophone’s materials to improve the sound of the instrument. The AWO1 alto sax benefits from a newly designed, newly engineered, and specially sourced brass material for improved sound and sonority. To link the bell and body together, Yanagisawa uses a balanced tri-point brace. The balanced brace ensures structural resilience and firm resonance, even during the loudest fortissimos.

The main reason that musicians choose Yanagisawa is the amount of effort they put into the attention to detail. Even the key tops they use are made from mother-of-pearl to prevent your fingers from slipping, even during technical passages.  The AWO1 has new front F keys, right side keys, and right pinky keys – all for your convenience.
