Yanagisawa A901 Alto Excellent Condition Plays Great 259808

This Yanagisawa A901 alto is in excellent condition, very good pad condition, and plays effortlessly. The A901 has been one of my top recommendations for a modern alto saxophone for many years, and it remains an unbeatable value. It’s a fully professional alto that is built in Japan to the highest standards (my repairman says Yanagisawa is the best built saxophone in the world), but it’s priced the same as if you bought a new Yamaha 26 student alto made in China. That’s wild. It’s a fully pro horn that won’t really depreciate at all, for the price of a student horn. The intonation is great, tone is medium between bright and dark, and can go in either a classical/concert band or a jazz/pop direction depending entirely on what mouthpiece you use. This one has just a little bit of wear from use, but nothing significant, and it’s ready to play for a long time with only minor periodic checkups, just like any saxophone. If you want a do-it-all alto for an affordable price, that is fully professional and built to last, this is it! It holds its value well too, which is nice for parents.

Only one available!
