Yanagisawa S-W02 Soprano Saxophone (Bronze)

Tonal excellence combined with unparalleled Japanese build quality is what defines the Yanagisawa SWO2.Made from newly engineered bronze, the SWO2 has an improved sound that’s rife with richness. And once combined with the re-designed bore and tone holes, you can hear the strong tonal core with flawless intonation.

The fresh design of the SWO2 has resulted in new front F keys, right side keys, and right pinky keys – all for your convenience. 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.

Yanagisawa have redesigned the saxophone’s materials to improve the sound of the instrument. The SWO2 soprano sax benefits from a newly designed, newly engineered and specially sourced bronze material for improved sound and resonance. For strength across the entire instrument, the keys are mounted to a rib which is then mounted to the body. These sorts of details are essential for professional players, as it means fewer repairs and cheaper servicing costs.
