Our Description
The BWO1 replaces the old B901 model that has for many years been the 'go to' Baritone Sax for a majority of players, both amateur and professional. It is a saxophone combining both inovation in design and accuracy of both scale and mechanism.
Re-designed Features
The BW series, follows in the footsteps of the AW, SW and TW series, the BW Baritone benefits from a re-designed tube, bore and tone-holes, in order to provide a more accurate and even scale. Yanagisawa have re-designed the core of the instrument in order to provide even more stable tuning, flexibility of tone and balance from top to bottom of the instrument.
The BW Baritone series also features:
- A newly designed right hand key guard to protect the keys and adjusting mechanisms
- A re-designed low A thumb key - This new design allows for quicker and easier deployment of the low A and rolling on/off
- A new brass plate has been added to the neck pipe to thicken the tube and stabalise the sound in the middle and upper registers
- New right hand pinky key shaping (low Eb/low C) for improved ergonomics and a quicker response
- The sling ring has been moved to re-balance the instrument more evenly
