Description
With a heritage of instrument-making in Japan that traces back to 1893, Yanagisawa is recognized today as a maker of the most carefully handcrafted family of artist-level saxophones in the world. In models ranging from sopranino to baritone, these superb instruments have won the praise of many celebrated musicians.
The Yanagisawa SWO20 Soprano Saxophone is a member of Yanagisawa’s ‘Elite’ level instrument series. It is a bronze model instrument for the accomplished player.
