"Don't be fooled by the relatively low price tag on this saxophone, for me it is well up there with the rest of the professional standard saxophones. It is light and easy to handle, the action is smooth and it is very free blowing. It doesn't have the tonal depth of some of the other saxophones on test but I could certainly make a good sound on this horn and it felt very comfortable under the fingers. This is actually my own choice for alto sax. I wanted a good professional standard sax that wasn't going to break the bank and was versatile enough to cope with a variety of playing styles. It is good fun to play and at just over a £1000 it makes it an ideal choice for players of any standard. As an all-round sax at this price it takes some beating. I also tried the black version of this and was very impressed by what seemed to be a slightly quicker response. I'm not usually a fan of alternative finishes on saxophones but if a sax plays like this then I do not mind at all what it looks like!" - Steve Birtwistle's alto sax testsSubj: Yani A901.

Thank you for a seamless transaction that was flawless. I still can't believe that we received the sax within 18 hours from order processing time, given the vast distance between us. Thank you again. -Karla Hinkley Subj: Yani A901. Date: 30/11/02 03:52:27 GMT Standard Time. From: Bricycling. Just received my sax this afternoon.

Many thanks for the sound advice you gave when I purchased my first ever saxophone the Yanagisawa A901 just over 8 weeks ago. I am very pleased with the instrument which is built to the highest quality, sounds great and it provides great value for money. I did a lot of research to get the best instrument, which was down to your excellent web site and the professionalism you showed when visiting your showroom, the time and effort you afforded me was first class. The sound advice you gave me helped me make up my mind to buy the Yani, therefore I am very grateful for helping me buy a first class saxophone which sounds great. Many thanks. Trevor Graeme Steele. Subj: A901 Alto Sax. Date: 18/01/02 20:18:14 GMT Standard Time. From: ryan.associates@snet.net (Paul Boehmke). Last summer it became apparent to me that my 1931 Dick Stabile alto was beyond repair, so I started shopping for a new horn. I quickly discovered that the used Selmer market had attained price levels comparable only to NASDQ in 1999, so I started looking at new altos. In short order, I realized that, for me, the A901 was it. After shopping around, here at home and on the internet, I made my first-ever on-line purchase with your company. I am fully satisifed with both the treatment I received, and the quality of the product. I am now telling everyone I meet to get their horns from you. I hope my efforts on your behalf do not totally destroy the US balance of trade!!! Subj: Yanagisawa A901B. Date: 26/12/01 14:11:15 GMT Standard Time. From: rlagomarsino@ci.pleasanton.ca.us (Richard Lagomarsino). Thanks for your help with the saxophone purchase. The sax was beautiful and perfect for my son.

Just a word, the Yanny is everything and more. It has increased my fluency by at least 50%, I am now just starting on the altissimo range, I can hit the low notes cold about 98% whereas before never, I had to roll into them. The high notes are much sweeter too. Again, Many Thanks, Tony.Subj: Thanks Date: 14/03/01 13:18:36 GMT Standard Time. From: gpharris@supanet.com. Thank you for the wonderful service you have provided. We ordered the Yanagisawa alto sax over the internet on Sunday and it arrived just after 9 on Tuesday morning. The instrument is excellent and my sons teacher is most impressed. Best wishes, Pam Harris
