Yanagisawa S9930 Soprano Saxophone, Solid Silver

Full Description

Quality Mechanisms

Yanagisawa has redesigned many elements of the soprano saxophone to make it a better instrument for both advancing students and professionals. As standard octave key mechanisms can get sticky over time, Yanagisawa has used fluororesin, non-stick coating to ensure a reliable action with no stickiness for years to come. The C#, Bb & B keys have been adapted to feature a rocking table (see-saw) mechanism that enables optimal speed and fluidity between these pitches. Yanagisawa use blue steel springs as opposed to stainless steel as they are more efficient and hold tension more effectively, therefore enhance the key action. Yanagisawa saxophones feature special pointed pivot screws in the centre of all of the arms. These screws accurately control the stability of the centre arms and help to achieve a high precision action. This model features rib plate mounting, the keys are mounted to the rib plate before being mounted to the body of the instrument. The result of this process is improved resonance and tonal stability. This saxophone has an underslung octave mechanism which produces a much quicker, more responsive action.

Premium Materials

Yanagisawa has developed the saxophone's materials in order to improve the sound of the instrument. This particular model features a stunning silver body. A white shell lining has been added to the keys to make the saxophone more eye catching and to reduce the chance of the player's fingers slipping during a technical passage.

Lacquered Solid Silver Body

The S9930 saxophone delivers aural and visual beauty with its stunning solid silver body and neck. The colour difference between the silver body and brass mechanisms give a lovely aesthetic touch.

Hand Engraved & Ebonite Mouthpiece

For a luxury finish the Yanagisawa soprano saxophones feature an attractive and uniquely styled hand engraved pattern on the instrument's body. Also included is a Yanagisawa branded ebonite mouthpiece - a favourite among sax players. Popular because they produce lovely warm tones and are able to fit into an ensemble seamlessly.
