Yanagisawa Baritone Saxophones
The sound of any sax section is great, however, listen to the same sax section, both with and without the baritone. It's amazing, isn't it?
The Yanagisawa baritone saxophone is truly the leader in the field of baritone manufacture. The Yanagisawa Baritone Saxophone has all the features of the smaller instruments including the fact that you can play a pianissimo low A without effort or having to ‘blurt’ out the note!
For the solo baritone performer the weight has been a consideration in the design. The finely tempered metal of the Yanagisawa bocal and body tubing provides the usual and expected response from this fine instrument.
Intermediate Baritone Saxophone
Truly deserving of the title Intermediate. This is certainly NOT a student instrument. Now used in most schools as the instrument of preference, this instrument commands a prime role in the musical scene. The low A facility provides the player with the extended range at the low end of this, the lowest in the Yanagisawa saxophones.
It is highly recommended that you purchases a saxophone stand with the Yanagisawa Intermediate Baritone when you acquire your new instrument, as it is not the kind of instrument you would wish to leave lying around on a seat - or worse, on the floor.
The instrument comes with a #5 hard rubber (ebonite) mouthpiece as standard as with all the Yanagisawa range of instruments. It is thought that the more discerning professional player may wish to use a #5 or #7 metal mouthpiece to give the instrument that extra 'bit of bite'.

Professional Baritone Saxophone
The Yanagisawa Professional Tenor Saxophone is truly a professional saxophone! What more is needed to comment on this magnificent instrument. It bursts into song and responds across the range with ease from altissimo to the very lowest note (Bb). As you already know the low Bb is a guaranteed performer. Yanagisawa's unique low Bb flutter key guarantees this.
The Yanagisawa designers have taken into account every little demand of the most discerning professional. As a repairer, I would say that a large percentage of saxophones coming across the bench suffer with bent keys on the lower notes. Not so with Yanagisawa, the double hinge tube/keycup supports ensure that the professional is never let down on stage with this common problem.
The Yanagisawa Professional Tenor Saxophone is available as the Super Professional model if required. This saxophone is never stocked, please enquire for more details.
