Yanagisawa S-W010 Soprano Saxophone (Brass)

Yanagisawa have redesigned the saxophone’s materials to improve the sound of the instrument. The SWO10 soprano sax benefits from a newly designed, newly engineered and specially sourced brass material for improved sound and resonance.

Made from newly engineered brass, the SWO10 has an improved sound that’s rife with sonority. And once combined with the re-designed bore and tone holes, you can hear the strong tonal core with flawless intonation. The SWO10 even includes a straight and a curved neck for personal preference. To help with intonation in the upper register, the SWO10 has a dedicated key for top Gs – for your convenience. And for an added touch of luxury, the bell features uniquely styled engraving which has been meticulously done by hand.

To ensure you can play efficiently and effectively, the C# and Bb keys have a rocking table/see-saw mechanism. This mechanism guarantees the easiest transition between these pitches. All of the centre arms on all Yanagisawa saxophones use special pointed pivot screws. These screws precisely maintain the stability of the centre arms and help achieve an exact action.  For added strength across the entire instrument, the keys are mounted to a rib which is then mounted to the body.
