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.

BELL BRACE
Balanced Tri-Point Brace
The bell and body are firmly linked by a three-point, balanced brace which ensures structural resiliance and firm resonance, even when fortissimo is sought.

BELL KEY BUFFER
Plastic Adjustable
The buffers used on the bell keys are plastic and fully adjustable so the aperture of the bell toneholes are within your control.

BORE AND TONE HOLES
Redesigned tone holes to improve the intonation.

BOW BRACE
Upper Brace
Redesigned upper bow brace.

BRASS / MATERIAL
Yanagisawa Standard

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
Hand Engraved
Each Yanagisawa saxophone is hand engraved by highly skilled craftsmen.

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
Yanagisawa Standard

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 GUARD
Right Hand Guard
Newly designed right hand guard exclusive to baritones.

KEY WORK MOUNTING
Body Mounted
The standard design for most regular saxes, the keys are mounted directly to the saxophone body.

LOW A KEY
Redesigned Key
Redesigned the low A thumb key for smoother 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 PIPE
Pipe Plate
New plate has been added thus tightening the sound from middle to high registers.

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.

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
Redesigned Key
New pinky key angle for smoother fingering.

RIGHT SIDE KEY
Yanagisawa Standard

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.

STRAP RING
Repositioned Ring
Repositioned the strap ring for easier playing.”
