Yanagisawa A-WO20 Alto Saxophone

The A-WO20 is Yanagisawa's top-tier alto saxophone built from bronze tubing, a material choice that produces a wider, more complex tonal range than brass. The instrument is hand-engraved and includes an ebonite mouthpiece, Yany ligature, and case.

Key Features:

• Bronze body tubing for expanded tonal color and harmonic depth
• Fluororesin-sleeved octave rocker eliminates lost motion for smooth octave key action
• Seesaw C#-Bb table key linkage and proprietary C#-B slider for faster left-hand transitions
• Adjustable vibration-damping bar stabilizes low register response via the right-hand F# key
• Genuine mother-of-pearl key touches, indented for grip and natural fit
• Metal thumb hook and brass thumb rest minimize body contact to maximize resonance
• Pointed pivot screws for precise mechanical fit across all hinge rods and center arms
• Sealed waterproof pads with metal tone boosters for airtight response and tonal clarity across all dynamic levels
• Blued-steel needle springs for faster action and greater elasticity than stainless
• Double-arm key cups prevent flex and twisting under pressure
• Tri-point bell-bow brace for structural rigidity and resonance at high volumes
