Yanagisawa 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): £1,379.57 (£1,620.99 Including VAT at 17.5%)

Yanagisawa 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.

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

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.

Free UK mainland delivery.

Our Price (excluding vat): £1,758.30 (£2,066.00 Including VAT at 17.5%)

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.

Yanagisawa A902 Bronze Alto Sax
Hand engraved clear lacquered bronze body with gold lacquer fittings. Low Bb to High F#.

These bronze models continue to be the most outstanding models in this exceptional range of saxophones - nearly all the Yanagisawa endorsees choose them. The bronze enhances a round warm tone, often described as being similar to the classic old American saxes. It looks slightly darker than brass making it just a little more individual.

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

Free UK mainland delivery.

Our Price (excluding vat): £1,837.45 (£2,159.00 Including VAT at 17.5%)

Yanagisawa A991 Alto Sax
Low Bb to High F#. Lacquered Brass, hand engraved. "Full-bodied sound from this great saxophone. Like the 901 very playable and the action is fluid. More expansive sound, and with the right mouthpiece set-up wonderful projection can be achieved."
