Yanagisawa Alto Saxophone AWO33 - Sterling Silver Bell and Neck

With a heritage of instrument-making in Japan that traces back to 1893, Yanagisawa is recognized today as a maker of the most carefully handcrafted family of artist-level saxophones in the world. In models ranging from sopranino to baritone, these superb instruments have won the praise of many celebrated musicians.The Yanagisawa AWO33 Elite Alto Saxophone updates the old A9933 model with the new brass alloy, keywork design and redesigned bore and toneholes. It features a sterling silver neck and body for an enhanced sound from the very start of the sax, with a bronze bow, bell and brass keys, all with a lacquered finish.

Like all Yanagisawa Elite saxes, the AWO33 has rib mounted keys that add more weight for a larger sound, an underslung octave mechanism and double key arms on the bell that allows the advanced player an instant response, and ergonomic keywork with indented shells for a comfortable feel across the instrument. Metal reflectors are used on the pads to add further clarity and playing response to the instrument while the Tri-point Brace holds the bell and body of the saxophone firmly in place, ensuring a secure construction even when played to the extremes.
