The Yanagisawa AWO37 is the pinnacle of their alto saxophone range, featuring a solid silver body, bell, bow, and neck adorned with exquisite hand engraving. The WO series re-engineered bore and tone holes further enhance the instrument's already exceptional sound quality.
Solid silver is known for producing a level of sound clarity unmatched by any other metal, and Yanagisawa has spent many years researching and perfecting their use of this material to create the ultimate tonal options for musicians. Combined with their finely crafted mechanisms, the AWO37 offers the ultimate choice for discerning players. Additionally, the instrument is fully lacquered to reduce the need for frequent cleaning.
Thanks to the re-engineered bore and tone holes, the latest iteration of the AWO37 has an even stronger tonal core, further enhancing the instrument's exceptional sound quality.
Masterfully crafted by the skilled artisans at Yanagisawa, this saxophone features intricate hand engravings that are the result of over 20 years of experience by the master engraver. The artistry involved in the engraving process is remarkable, with up to 10 hours spent on each instrument and the use of 15 different types of gravers.
This latest AWO37 has an even stronger tonal core thanks to a re-engineered bore and tone holes, plus many upgraded features such as:
Front F Key
A new redesigned front F key for a better feel.
Right Side Key
Additional feet under the right side key levers (B, C and high E) for a better touch.
Right Pinky Key
New pinky key angle for smoother fingering.
New Engraving
Exquisite new hand engraving.
New Neck Plate
An additional neck plate for tightening the sound.
Palm Key plate
New palm key plate for added high range resonance, acoustic depth and projection across all register, and exceptional tonal stability.
Teflon octave system
Both ends of the octave key axis rotate in a receptacle that is coated with teflon to insure a smooth operation every time
Rocking table mechanism
The C# and Bb keys have a rocking table mechanism that allows for optimal speed and fluidity between these pitches
F-auxiliary key mechanism
Insures a proper seal of the pads when playing in the low range of the saxophone
"Indented" white shell keys
A player's fingers will rest comfortably in the indented white shell keys. The white shells also enhance the beauty of the instrument while also preventing the player's fingers from slipping during technical passages
Pointed pivot screw
The pivot screws that are used have a pointed end which facilitates an accurate center and precise action
Air-tight waterproof pad
The pads are completely air-tight which supports stability in playing and their life is extended thanks to being waterproof
Blue steel springs
Blue steel springs give the player quick response and are more resilient than stainless steel (they also last much longer)
Tri-point balanced bell brace
The bell and the body of the saxophone are securely connected by a tri-point balanced bell brace
