Yanagisawa A-WO20 alto sax with rich response
The Yanagisawa A-WO20 alto sax is an Eb saxophone for players who value quality, finish and reliability. This alto combines a bronze body with a lacquered finish and delivers, according to the product information, a rich, full sound. Both the enthusiastic amateur musician and the experienced professional can make excellent use of it.
Metal resonators in the pads provide clear notes and outstanding response from pianissimo to fortissimo. The high F# key extends the range, while the included Yanagisawa ebonite mouthpiece and case mean you are ready to go right away.
Construction and mechanism of the Eb alto saxophone
Compared to the A-W02, the A-WO20 has an improved linkage on the left-hand pinky table from low C# to low B. In practice, you notice this especially in that part of the mechanism, where smooth and controlled operation matters.
This model also has an underslung octave mechanism and double key arms on the low Eb and low B keys. The elegant engraving completes the finish. If you want to try a Yanagisawa alto sax yourself first, you can visit Magna Music for personal advice from staff who are musicians themselves.
