Yanagisawa AWO33 Alto Saxophone - Solid Silver and Brass

The Yanagisawa AWO33 alto saxophone represents the pinnacle of the WO Series, combining traditional craftsmanship with advanced material design to deliver exceptional tonal complexity and projection. As part of Yanagisawa’s Elite range, the AWO33 features a solid silver neck and bell paired with a brass body, creating a refined tonal balance with enhanced resonance, clarity, and depth.

The use of solid silver in the neck and bell contributes to a broader harmonic spectrum and increased responsiveness, particularly in the upper register. Players will notice a more immediate articulation and a vibrant, projecting core sound, while the brass body maintains warmth and stability across the full range of the instrument.

Yanagisawa’s signature bore design ensures excellent intonation and a free-blowing yet centred response. The keywork is ergonomically refined for comfort and precision, with blue steel springs providing a fast, consistent action. Metal resonators further enhance projection and tonal focus, making the instrument suitable for both solo and ensemble performance.

Additional professional features include a high F sharp key, front F key, and a durable, beautifully engraved bell that reflects the instrument’s premium status. The AWO33 is ideal for advanced and professional saxophonists seeking a distinctive tonal palette with superior projection and control.
