Introducing the Yanagisawa A-WO1 Professional Alto Saxophone, now available at Irvine Art and Music! Crafted with precision and passion by Yanagisawa's skilled artisans, this saxophone embodies the pinnacle of form, function, and sound, setting a new standard of excellence in the world of professional instruments.

Yanagisawa saxophones are renowned for their innovative designs and unique features, and the A-WO1 is no exception. Handcrafted to an impressively high level of precision and overall excellence, this saxophone delivers a rich, precise sound that reflects every expressive nuance of your playing.

Designed to emphasize the individuality of the player, the A-WO1 is an ideal entry-level professional alto saxophone. Its single-post-to-body construction provides quicker response with lighter overall weight, resonating more immediately compared to heavier ribbed-construction saxophones.

The A-WO1 features well-designed mechanisms that work together harmoniously to deliver superior tone, ergonomics, and versatility. Proprietary Yanagisawa innovations, such as the Fluororesin-sleeved octave rocker and seesaw linkage between the C# and Bb table keys, ensure precise action and smoother fingering technique.

Packed with Yanagisawa innovations, the A-WO1 offers enhanced performance, precision, and reliability. An adjustable vibration-damping bar stabilizes lower-register note production, while pointed pivot screws and sealed, waterproof pads ensure an accurate fit and extended service life.

Aside from its exceptional performance, the A-WO1 boasts a design as beautiful as it is masterful. With its brass body tubing, hand-engraved bell, concavely shaped mother-of-pearl key touches, and tri-point bell-bow brace, this saxophone exudes elegance and sophistication.

Handcrafted in Japan by the Yanagisawa Wind Instrument Company, the A-WO1 is a testament to the tradition of Japanese artistry and craftsmanship. Whether you're a seasoned professional or an aspiring musician, the Yanagisawa A-WO1 Professional Alto Saxophone is sure to exceed your expectations.
