Yanagisawa TWO30 Tenor Saxophone Lacquered Finish

The Yanagisawa TWO30 Tenor Saxophone Lacquered Finish is an upgraded replacement for the 992 series, featuring a stunning silver body and brass bow & bell, this instrument is ideal for an accomplished player. The Two30 is an elite instrument with mechanically superior design features. This series of saxophones all benefit from a redesigned core brass material and re-engineered bore and toneholes. Unlike the 992 models it delivers great tonal range and unrivalled depth and flexibility. In addition to previous models this sax features a palm key plate that delivers high range resonance, acoustic depth, and added projection and tonal stability. An upgraded metal key buffer offers increased longevity and accuracy. A double arm on the bell keys removes the chance of twisting or distortion of the tone hole cup as well as ensuring reliable performance and tonal integrity. This sax features an original hand engraved design by highly skilled craftsmen and comes with a fabric covered, woodshell case and Yanagisawa branded ebonite mouthpiece.

Quality Mechanisms

Yanagisawa has redesigned many elements of the tenor saxophone to make it a better instrument for accomplished players. As standard octave key mechanisms can get sticky over time, Yanagisawa has used fluororesin, non-stick coating to ensure a reliable action with no stickiness for years to come. The C#, Bb & B keys have been adapted to feature a rocking table (see-saw) mechanism that enables optimal speed and fluidity between these pitches. The Two30 features metal, adjustable buffers which as opposed to a plastic material increases longevity and accuracy, as well as allowing players to have full aperture control of the bell tone holes. Yanagisawa use blue steel springs as opposed to stainless steel as they are more efficient and hold tension more effectively, therefore enhance the key action. Yanagisawa provide players with equipment that is flexible to play throughout most musical ranges, so when the tenor saxophone is being played in low ranges the pads will stay well sealed because of the F-auxiliary key that Yanagisawa use on the instrument.

Premium Materials

Yanagisawa has developed the saxophone’s materials in order to improve the sound of the instrument. This particular model features a stunning silver body which is suited to accomplished players. Also featured on this model is a newly designed, newly engineered and specially sourced brass material for improved sound and sonority. A white shell lining has been added to the keys to make the saxophone more eye catching and to reduce the chance of the player’s fingers slipping during a technical passage. The improved angle of the right pinky key has given players a smoother fingering experience, as well as additional feet added to the right side key to provide a better feel during play.

Silver Body

The Two30 saxophone features a stunning silver body that offers superb tonal range with unrivalled depth and flexibility. The colour difference between the silver body and brass mechanisms give a lovely aesthetic touch.

Pivot Screws & Bell Brace

Yanagisawa saxophones feature special pointed pivot screws in the centre of all of the arms. These screws accurately control the stability of the centre arms and help to achieve a high precision action.

The bell and body of the saxophone are linked together by a three-point, balanced brace that enables structural security and firm resonance, despite fortissimo being sought.

Hand Engraved & Ebonite Mouthpiece

For a luxury finish the Yanagisawa tenor saxophones feature an attractive and uniquely styled hand engraved pattern on the instrument’s body. Also included is a Yanagisawa branded ebonite mouthpiece – a favourite among sax players. Popular because they produce lovely warm tones and are able to fit into an ensemble seamlessly.
