Description

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 TWO20S Tenor Saxophone is a member of Yanagisawa’s ‘Elite’ level instrument series. It is a bronze body instrument for the accomplished player, finished with silver plate. It delivers a superb tonal range with an unmistakably darker edge thanks to the fine bronze body, and it also benefits from the WO series re-engineered bore and tone holes, and re-sourced and redesigned core bronze material. This model also has many upgraded features exclusive to the WO series such as:
  • Redesigned Taper: Redesign of the taper and position of the tone holes allows for clearer intonation.
  • Right Pinky Key: Relocated the right pinky key allows for smoother fingering.
  • Left Palm Keys: Modified angle of the left palm keys ensuring easier fingering.
  • New Case: Redesigned hard shell case with fabric cover.
The Yanagisawa TWO20 Tenor Saxophone:
  • Bb Tenor Saxophone
  • The teflon inner octave system
  • C#-Bb connected table key
  • Sway-free F-auxiliary key mechanism
  • ‘Indented’ White Shell Keys
  • Single unit seat (base)
  • Metal Thumb Rests
  • Pointed Pivot Screws
  • Air-Tight Waterproof Pads
  • Blue Steel Springs
  • Tri-point balanced bell brace
The TWO20S includes a ‘fully ribbed’ construction which means that there are strips of brass soldered on to the body of the sax, on to which the various pillars are then soft soldered themselves. This gives added ‘body’ to the tone, while offering even further solidarity of design. Secondly, the Elite series offers double arms on the lowest and most vulnerable keys, again adding stability to the set-up.
All Yanagisawa saxophones come complete with a durable back-pack case with front pocket case and include the professional Yanagisawa hard rubber mouthpiece.
