Alto Saxophone
Yanagisawa A992 - Professional
All of Yanagisawas evolutionary advancements are present–coalesced with the innovative use of bronze. The result is an unmistakable warmth and richness of response, and wide dynamic range for which Yanagisawa is known. An exceptional choice for any soloist, classical players will find this model to be of particularly great interest.
Benefitting from the upgraded systems of all the 99 series the 992 has double arm low key supports for a stronger low end sound and better pad seating. The pillars are also mounted to long straps that run down the body providing weight and support to the sound and strength to the construction.
A sublime saxophone, the warmth gained by the bronze is because the base copper content is increased. This also results in less zinc which is responsible for projection. So, if you want unrelenting power and projection go for a 991, if you want a little more warmth and subtlety go for a 992.
Bronze brass lacquered, Yanagisawa sway-free mechanism for F auxiliary and low C-sharp keys, which affords better air tightness. Best quality Japanese materials and mechanisms. Supplied with a deluxe woodshell case and quality ebonite mouthpiece.
