Yanagisawa A901 Alto SaxYanagisawa A901 Alto Sax
"A professional sounding instrument at an excellent price. Extremely light and compact, instantly playable by beginners and advanced players alike. Very light action, you can fly around the instrument, making those finger-busting sax passages a lot less effort!!"

So what do the guys in the business play? Well this is the choice of saxophones.co.uk specialist Jim Cheek and his predecessor Steve Birtwistle.

All Yani saxes are supplied with hard case, strap and a classy ebonite mouthpiece.

Our Price (excluding vat): £1,379.13 (£1,586.00 Including VAT at 15%)



Yanagisawa A901 Unlacquered Alto SaxYanagisawa A901 Unlacquered Alto Sax
Free up your sound with an unlacquered sax! Lose the dampening effect of all that lacquer and let your horn resonate freely. And, if you like your sax to have a vintage look it will soon start to tarnish if you don't polish it.

Yanagisawa A901B Alto Sax in Black Lacquer with Gold Hardware & Hand Engraving.Yanagisawa A901B Alto Sax in Black Lacquer with Gold Hardware & Hand Engraving.
Low Bb to High F#. Black lacquered brass and hand engraved.

The black lacquer is a special order from the factory so we commisioned this one a few months ago and here it is, playing and sounding as good as it looks!

Black lacquer is thicker than clear or gold lacquer which encourages a warm tone and makes this the 'darkest' sounding finish. Sounds more powerful without being edgy - we like it!

Supplied with good quality hard case, strap and ebonite mouthpiece.

Yanagisawa A901S Silver Plated Alto Sax with Hand Engraving.Yanagisawa A901S Silver Plated Alto Sax with Hand Engraving.
Silver plated brass (unlacquered) with hand engraving.

To minimise cleaning, lacquered saxes are sprayed with a thin layer of plastic lacquer which slightly dampens the resonance of the metal. In contrast, unlacquered silver plated saxes have an addional layer of metal providing extra resonance.....but it is harder to keep them clean. Silver is the brightest sounding finish.

Supplied with good quality hard case, strap and ebonite mouthpiece.
