If Yanagisawa soprano saxes are over your budget take a look at the range of System 54 sopranos Saxophones
There is a choice of three finishes Pure brass Vintage style and Vintage gold
System 54 sopranos are made in Taiwan and are really good value. They look great and play great. So if you are on a budget then do consider these as an alternative. We think you would not be disappointed. We normally keep them in stock so do pop in and try one.
