Product Information

The new SW01 takes over from the ever popular S901 model. It is a one piece, straight body Soprano Sax for the advancing player.

For many years the Yanagisawa Soprano Sax range has been highly praised and admired for its ease of play and excellent tuning, now with some specific modifications Yanagisawa cement their position as arguably the premium Soprano Sax manufacturer. The main new features include:

New Bore Shape

The tone hole positioning and size has been modified alongside a newly designed internal bore shape. These modifications have been developed to make the instrument even smoother playing with precise intonation.

New Brass Material

The SW Soprano (and indeed AW and TW) series benefit from a newly sourced and expertly treated core brass material. This selection was based on finding a blend that produced the most vibrant and responsive tone and resonance.

Keywork Modifications

There have been various small key modifications including re-desings to the Front F Key, LH Palm Keys, RH Side Keys and LH pinky keys. All of these changes are aimed at making the instrument extremely comfortable to hold and perform at high speeds.

  • Supplied with excellent new case with straps
  • Comes complete with ebonite Yanagisawa mouthpiece
  • New decorative engraving
  • Fully tested in our workshops prior to sale
  • 12 month warranty

Build quality is excellent, it feels so comfortable, the intonation Yanagisawa is famous for has got even better and I can get a warm sound with great clarity. If thinking about buying a soprano you must consider the W01.
