Reviews

“Yanagisawa have really done a superb job here – having always enjoyed playing on the 900 series models, they’ve gone one step further and changed the bore specification such that there is an extra focus and distinguished core in the sound. From the player’s point of view, it’s really easy to get into this sound-world and start shaping your music effectively. The brass gives me a nice overall warmth in tone, while the response is immediate and very clean. The two necks give you options for the playing angle, and you may also notice a subtle difference in the way they each play.”– Jim Cheek (Sax.co.uk)
