Yanagisawa SWO1 Soprano Saxophone

Lost motion is eliminated and smooth octave-key action is ensured by rounding the octave rocker ends and Fluororesin-coating the receiving sleeves they contact.

The seesaw linkage between the C# and Bb table keys facilitates faster, smoother fingering technique.

The additional slider mechanism between the C# and B table keys is a proprietary Yanagisawa design that allows smoother finger transitions between these notes.

Indented mother-of-pearl key touches are attractive, afford the fingertips a more natural fit and feel, and are less slippery than plastic touches when wet.

For the utmost in precision and reliability, pointed pivot screws ensure that center arms or hinge rods are an exact fit.

Airtight pads facilitate balanced, leak-free play while quality waterproofing extends pad service life.

Blued-steel needle springs are more elastic than the stainless-steel variety, offer faster action and render a better command of difficult passages.
