S901 Yellow Brass One-Piece Body and Keywork,
Gold lacquered, Engraved
Yanagisawa consider this soprano to be a true professional horn. It is made of brass, engraved and and offered in a clear lacquer finish. This
soprano has terrific intonation and power. The secret? It uses the same body, tone hole geometry and metallurgy as the S991. Very affordable for such a good sax.. |

S902 Solid Bronze One-Piece Body, Yellow Brass Keywork, Clear lacquered, Engraved This saxophone shares every construction detail with the S901
except for the fact that the neck, body, bow and engraved bell are made of bronze with a clear lacquer coat to protect it. This metal imparts a sound with greater emphasis on the fundamental and is for those
who value the unique dark sound and deeper coloration only a bronze instrument provides. |
|
S991 Yellow Brass, 2 Necks Gold lacquered, Engraved
The S991 has several significant enhancements over the S901. 1) High G key 2) 2 removable necks -- one straight and one curved -- both with the over / under neck key mechanism keeps
this fragile part well protected. 3) Ribbed body. These reinforcements under the keywork posts help maintain key and rod alignment. 4) Improved low C#-B seesaw mechanism facilitates this transition.
5) Gold-plated thumb hook and rest resists corrosion and abrasion. |

S992 Solid Bronze Body and 2 Necks Yellow Brass Keywork,
Clear lacquered, Engraved This saxophone shares every construction detail with the S991 except for the fact that the necks and body are made of bronze with engraving
and a clear lacquer coat to protect it. This metal imparts a sound with greater emphasis on the fundamental and is for those who value the unique dark sound and deeper coloration only a bronze instrument
provides. |

S992PG Solid Bronze Body and 2 Necks Yellow Brass Keywork,
All PINK GOLD-PLATED Elaborately Engraved A spectacular horn, similar in sound to the R&C R1 Jazz Gold-plated but with a somewhat brighter sound due to its
smaller bore geometry. Pink gold plated and no lacquer to absorb harmonics. A little brighter and more complex sounding than the S992. Very elaborate engraving. |
|
S9930 Solid Sterling Silver, 2 Necks and Body, Clear Lacquered, Engraved
This saxophone shares every construction detail with the S991 except for the fact that the necks and body are made of Solid 95% Pure Silver with engraving and a clear
lacquer coat to protect it. This metal imparts a sweeter, velvety sound unique to silver horns. There is a reason why great flautists play solid silver flutes and this soprano benefits from the unique effect
silver imparts on high harmonics. |
