Bottom line: if you’re in the market for a truly exceptional professional baritone saxophone, the Yanagisawa B-WO20 should be high on your list.Ergonomic and sonic perfection Professional saxophones should emphasize the individuality of the player, enhancing the myriad of playing techniques, from embouchure to fingering, that collectively produce your inimitable sound and define who you are as an artist. Yanagisawa WO20 series instruments represent the apotheosis of modern saxophone design. As accessible as it is exceptional, the Yanagisawa B-WO20 Elite is an ideal professional baritone saxophone. In your hands, you will find the B-WO20 feels just right. Whether you’re finessing an adagio line or firing off a volley of notes, you’ll appreciate the fluid, synergistic response of this superb horn as your fingertips savor the luxurious feel of its elegant genuine mother-of-pearl key touches. Sonically, you’ll be rewarded with a commanding tone and strong projection, making this horn ideal for jazz, classical, and any other genre.The benefits of ribbed body construction Yanagisawa’s Elite models feature fully ribbed construction. Integrating the multiple key posts into a single plate — as opposed to soldering them directly to the body of the saxophone — ribbed construction gives the tube higher mass (and hence, more rigidity and durability), and requires somewhat more effort from the player. While added mass implies a slightly heavier instrument, it pays back dividends in the form of increased tonal depth and richness. Ribbed construction makes the horn blow with moderate resistance while delivering a solid fundamental with rich tonal color. For experienced intermediate and pro saxophonists with a more developed embouchure and sound concept, it’s a definite advantage. Although ribbed construction typically presents a slightly increased initial resistance, it effectively gives you another level of resonance — an extra “gear,” if you will — to blow through for additional dynamic range and expression. Simply put, you can push your Yanagisawa B-WO20 further, and it will go exactly where you want it to go.Well-designed mechanisms working together harmoniously With a complex instrument like a saxophone, many mechanisms have to work together harmoniously to deliver superior tone, ergonomics, and versatility. To that end, the B-WO20 incorporates exclusive Yanagisawa innovations such as a fluororesin-sleeved octave rocker, which eliminates extraneous motion with rounded rocker ends and a fluororesin coating on the receiving sleeves they contact. This high-tech, non-stick coating delivers reliable action without the excessive stickiness buildup over time that plagues standard octave key mechanisms. As soon as your fingers alight on the keys, another thing you’ll notice is the innovative seesaw linkage between the C# and Bb table keys, which incorporates a proprietary slider mechanism to enable faster, smoother fingering technique.Enhanced performance, precision, and reliability Even under the hood, the B-WO20 Elite baritone is packed with Yanagisawa innovations that enhance performance and long-term durability. A hidden advantage of the B-WO20 is its pointed pivot screws, which increase precision and reliability by ensuring an accurate fit for the center arms and hinge rods. The B-WO20’s sealed, waterproof pads provide a leak-free, airtight fit while facilitating balanced action and extended service life. Metal resonators (“tone boosters”) are fitted for a big, bright, and assertive tone that brings your notes to life. For faster action and better control over challenging passages, Yanagisawa uses blue-steel needle springs — the professional standard for durable, perfectly tensioned keywork. This punctilious attention to detail results in a masterful instrument that will go the distance in your career and advance your ongoing development as an artist.A design as beautiful as it is masterful Aside from its delicately hand-engraved bell, other readily apparent high-end features of the Yanagisawa B-WO20 Elite baritone include its key touches, which are concavely shaped for a more natural finger fit. They’re surfaced with genuine mother-of-pearl, which looks amazing and wicks away moisture more effectively than commonly used plastic — something you’ll definitely appreciate toward the end of a long set under hot stage lights. More utilitarian, but nevertheless performance critical, are the metal thumb hook and the brass thumb rest, which are designed to make minimal point contact with the body to enhance resonance while allowing for smoother response and optimized tonal balance.Handcrafted in Japan Based in Tokyo, the Yanagisawa Wind Instrument Company is a boutique shop specializing in one product: handmade professional saxophones designed to exceed the expectations of the most demanding players.
