Yanagisawa TWO10 Tenor Saxophone, Brass - EX DISPLAY

Full Description

Premium Mechanisms

Yanagisawa pride themselves on exceptional build quality. This is why all of their instruments are hand built by experienced artisans in Japan. Small details like the addition of an underslung octave mechanism which is more responsive and quicker, to coating the mechanism in flouroresin to ensure the action is constantly reliable all come together to produce this magnificent instrument.

To help even more with reliability, the buffers used on the bell keys are metal. These fully adjustable metal buffers increase longevity and accuracy compared to plastic buffers. This means the aperture of the bell tone holes are within your control.

To ensure you can play efficiently and effectively, the C# and Bb keys have a rocking table/see-saw mechanism. This mechanism guarantees the easiest transition between these pitches. All of the centre arms on all Yanagisawa saxophones use special pointed pivot screws. These screws precisely maintain the stability of the centre arms and help achieve an exact action.

Top Quality Materials

Yanagisawa have redesigned the saxophone's materials to improve the sound of the instrument. The TWO10 tenor sax benefits from a newly designed, newly engineered and specially sourced brass material for improved sound and sonority. To link the bell and body together, Yanagisawa uses a balanced tri-point brace. The balanced brace ensure structural resilience and firm resonance, even during the loudest fortissimos.

To help minimise any negative resonance, Yanagisawa has designed the thumb rest and hook to be mounted to the body by only four small points of contact. Plus, as the thumb rest is made of brass, it permits a more consistent tonal range.

Unlike similarly priced saxophones, the TWO10 uses metal reflectors instead of plastic. These add clarity and improve the response across the entire dynamic range. And once combined with the airtight waterproof pads, you can perform in confidence knowing that the intonation is going to be rock solid.

Attention to Detail

The main reason that musicians choose Yanagisawa is the amount of effort they put into the attention to detail. On the bell of the TWO10, you will find uniquely styled engraving which has been meticulously done by the Yanagisawa artisans in Japan. Even the key tops they use are made from white shell to prevent your fingers from slipping, even during technical passages.

On all elite models, Yanagisawa includes double bell arms. These arms help to keep the tone holes fully sealed by removing the chances of twisting or distortion. For added strength across all the entire instrument, the keys are mounted to a rib which is then mounted to the body. These sorts of details of essential for professional players, as it means fewer repairs and cheaper servicing costs.
