Yanagisawa A901 Alto Excellent Condition Great Deal 318710

The Yanagisawa A901 is one of my favorite modern altos at any price. And it also happens to be amazingly affordable. I mean, this is almost the price of a student level Yamaha, for a pro Yanagisawa that has the best build quality of any modern saxophone maker. Yanagisawa is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year, and it has been making only professional saxophones for all of that time! Impressive. The 901 is the equivalent of the AWO-1 (which will cost you $3500 or so new online). And I like the 901 easily as well as the WO-1 if not better. It has a crisp, clean, projecting tone that is great for classical with a dark mouthpiece, or ideal for jazz with a brighter mouthpiece. It’s pretty hard to beat! This one is in extremely clean condition, and has been babied for its entire life so far. It shows nearly no wear, and plays great!
