In 1951 Yanagisawa made its first saxophone prototype. and now seven decades later, the company is renowned for the highest quality intermediate and professional saxophones. All saxophones are handmade at the home factory in Toyko, Japan and their production is not driven by corporate quotas but rather by quality control. They produce only as many instruments as their production line can manage efficiently - the mantra is to guarantee and maintain reliablity and high quality in their products.
