Product Specs
SW01 - Professional Model.
This SWO1 brass model is suited just as well to aspiring beginners as to experienced professionals. The student will develop their own style more easily due to both the improved construction and ergonomic key design, and the advanced professional can be assured of a superior tone. It has a strong tonal core thanks to a re-engineered bore and toneholes, plus many upgraded features exclusive to the WO series such as newly designed Front F Keys, Ride Side Keys and Right Pinky Key.
Bell Arm Keys
Single Arm - Yanagisawa's single arms used on the bell keys are extremely strong and have proved reliable for many years. Higher-End models can benefit from double arm bell keys.
Bore and Tone Holes
WO Series Bore and Tone Holes - In Yanagisawa's desire to constantly innovate, all new WO series saxophones have a newly engineered bore and toneholes. This helps achieve a smoother blow and even more precise intonation.
Brass / Material
WO Series Brass Material - The WO series saxophones benefit from a newly designed, newly engineered and specially sourced brass material for improved sound and sonority.
C# - Bb Keys
C# - Bb Rocking Key - The C# and Bb keys have a rocking table / see-saw mechanism that allows for optimal speed and fluidity between these pitches.
Engraving
WO1 / WO2 Style Hand Engraved - Yanagisawa WO1 and WO2 series saxophones now feature a uniquely styled, hand engraved pattern.
F Auxiliary Key
F-Auxiliary Key - This mechanism fitted to the F-Aux key ensures a proper seal of the pads when playing in the low ranges of the saxophone.
Front F Key
WO Series Redesigned front F Key - The Front F key on WO series saxophones has been redesigned to further improve the ease of fingering.
Key Decoration
White Shell Lining - A player's fingers will rest comfortably in the indented white shell keys. The white shell also enhances the beauty of the instrument while also preventing the player's fingers from slipping during technical passages.
Key Work Mounting
Body Mounted - The standard design for most regular saxes, the keys are mounted directly to the saxophone body.
Left Palm Key
Modified angle of the left palm keys ensuring easier fingering.
Mouthpiece
Ebonite Mouthpieces - Ebonite mouthpieces are favoured for their warm tone and ability to fit into an ensemble seamlessly. However, as players discover their own voice, switching to another style of mouthpiece can open up a whole world of new tonal possibilities. Metal mouthpieces are often favoured by Jazz players or soloists who need to stand out from the crowd.
Neck Plate
WO Series Neck Plate - For Overslung necks, this new plate exclusive to the WO1 and WO2 models gives a tighter, more controlled tone.
Octave System
Fluororesin Non-Stick Mechanism - As standard octave key mechanisms can get sticky over time, Yanagisawa's flouroresin, non-stick coating ensures a reliable action with no stickiness.
Pad Type
Air Tight Waterproof Pad - Yanagisawa's superb waterproof pad is totally air tight which allows complete confidence in the instrument's tonal integrity, plus the waterproof material offers a greatly extended pad life.
Palm Key Plate
WO Series Palm Key Plate - Previously only available on the 99* series saxophones, the WO Series' addition of the palm key plate delivers high range resonance, acoustic depth, added projection and added tonal stability.
Pivot Screws
Pointed Pivot Screws - Special pointed pivot screws are used in all centre arms on Yanagisawa saxophones. These screws precisely maintain the stability of the centre arms, and help achieve a very high precision action.
Right Pinky Key
WO Series Right Pinky Key - The angle of the Right 'Pinky' key on WO series saxophones has been improved to give a smoother fingering feel.
Right Side Key
WO Series Right Side Key - The Right side key levers on WO series saxophones now has additional feet for a better touch. This affects the Bb, C and E.
Spring Type
Blue Steel Springs - Blue Steel Spring are better than stainless steel - as used on most other saxes - as they hold tension more effectively, and therefore enhance the key action.
