Yanagisawa AWO30 Solid Silver Series Elite Alto Saxophone

AWO30 – Sterling Neck & Body
The Yanagisawa AWO30 series uses a Solid Sterling Silver for the principle body tubing of the neck and the main body tube. The bell and the bow are made from the brass used on the WO10 model to help combine the resonance and performance of the solid silver tubing, but at a more affordable price than the all sterling 37 model. The Yanagisawa AWO30 model is a wonderfully responsive and resonant saxophone. We feel that it is ideal for the player who needs exceptional versatility from their Yanagisawa, but leans a little more towards classical playing. It is obviously a marvelous saxophone for any style of playing, but for the player who does a little more classical than other musical styles, the Yanagisawa AWO30 is an ideal saxophone!

AWO33 – Sterling Neck & Bell
The Yanagisawa AWO33 series uses a Solid Sterling Silver for the main resonance tubing of the neck and bell (like an old King Super 20). The body and the bow are made from the brass used on the WO10 model to give more of the grit and tone of the WO10 but with the quicker response and resonance of sterling silver. The AWO33 model is a wonderfully responsive and resonant saxophone. We feel that it is ideal for the player who needs exceptional versatility from their Yanagisawa, but leans a little more towards Jazz/Rock/Funk/Blues playing. It is obviously a marvelous saxophone for any style of playing, but for the player who does a little more Jazz/Rock/Funk/Blues than classical musical styles, the WO33 is an ideal saxophone!

Professional Setup
Every horn we send out to a customer is not released from us unless it has been completely setup in our shop first. This is because the setup on the horn is of the utmost importance! Sometimes, a saxophone (regardless of who the manufacturer) comes in needing 20 minutes of adjustments and then the very next one can require 2 hours! So if you were to get 5 of the same model right out of the box, they will all play different. This leads players to believe that they are “good” or “bad” saxes. The reality is that the one that was the best out of the 5 was likely the one that needed the least amount of work and the “bad” sax was the one that needed 2 hours worth of adjustments!

Once the same 5 saxophones are properly regulated and adjusted to perfection, they become near identical saxophones. Even the pickiest of players would be challenged to pick a true “favorite” horn. However, since most stores do not or even can not perform this setup, the player never knows this and is simply relying on the luck of the draw. This is why we perform our setup (in our www.SaxophoneRepairs.com ProShop) on them before delivering your new sax to you. You trust us with your purchase and we want to make sure that you are rewarded by giving you your ideal saxophone setup flawlessly!
