Yanagisawa A-W033 Alto Saxophone (Solid Silver Neck & Bell – Brass Body & Bow)

Make a statement with the newly engineered brass and beautiful silver Yanagisawa AWO33 alto saxophone. It offers a sound that is both sophisticated and pure, and once combined with the impeccable mechanism, you will be able to feel the strong tonal core with flawless intonation.

The AWO33 alto sax benefits from a newly designed, newly engineered and specially sourced brass material for improved sound and sonority. When combined with the silver bell, AWO33 enters a league of its own. To link the bell and body together, Yanagisawa uses a balanced tri-point brace. The balanced brace ensure structural resilience and firm resonance, even during the loudest fortissimos.

To help minimise any negative resonance, Yanagisawa has designed the thumb rest and hook to be mounted to the body by only four small points of contact. Plus, as the thumb rest is made of brass, it permits a more consistent tonal range. AWO33 has resulted in new front F keys, right side keys, and right pinky keys – all for your convenience

The bell of the AWO33, has a uniquely styled engraving which has been meticulously done by the Yanagisawa artisans in Japan. AW033 includes double bell arms. These arms help to keep the tone holes fully sealed by removing the chances of twisting or distortion. For added strength across all the entire instrument, the keys are mounted to a rib which is then mounted to the body.
