Gold Plated Thumb Hook and Rest

Yanagisawa is always seeking to be ahead of the opposition and the thumb hook and rest is such an example of excellence. Mounted with only five small points making contact with the body, the thumb hook has virtually no effect on the resonance of the instrument, and the thumb rest being made of brass, permits a more consistent tonal range.

The thumb hook is fully adjustable, allowing for the individual customisation of the instrument to the particular thumb position of the player. Another attribute to be found on the Yanagisawa saxophone whilst not to be seen on many others.
