Yanagisawa soprano saxophone with free-blowing response
The Yanagisawa S-WO1 is a brass soprano saxophone in gold lacquer, built as a professional model with broad appeal. That makes it suitable for aspiring beginners developing their own style as well as experienced players who place high value on tone and control.
The one-piece construction from neck to bell gives this soprano saxophone a free-blowing character with tonal strength and projection. Its redesigned bore and tone holes give the Yanagisawa S-WO1 a strong tonal core you can rely on over many years of use.
Construction and ergonomics of the S-WO1

Specific to the WO series are the redesigned Front F Keys, Ride Side Keys and Right Pinky Key. This makes the soprano saxophone especially appealing to players looking for a modern keywork layout in a brass model with gold lacquer finish.
