With a heritage of instrument making in Japan that traces back to 1893, Yanagisawa is regarded today as maker of the most carefully handcrafted family of artist-level saxophones. Mr. Takanobu Yanagisawa, son of the company's founder, continues to lead his firm in the pursuit of a simple but ambitious goal: to build the finest saxophones in the world. 

Yanagisawa introduced their new line of baritone saxophones at the end of 2018. This B-WO1 Baritone sax replaces the B-901 model. It has a body made of Yellow Brass and offers a rich resonance and responsiveness of brass afford the player more expressive freedom.

Please Note: Traditional manufacturers of BrassWind instruments have always been skeptical of the dampening effect that lacquer can have on sonority. Recently some saxophone producers have introduced Unlacquered models of their well known Professional instruments.  Our experience here is that they generally blow more vibrantly and freely than their lacquered counterparts, certainly an advantage to the discerning player !!
