Yanagisawa AWO1 Professional Alto Excellent Condition! 337315

This is a beautiful example of the most affordable and best built modern professional alto saxophone on the market: The Yanagisawa AWO1. The AWO1 is a fully pro horn that Yanagisawa counterintuitively sells for such a reasonable price that it is now backordered to buy new most places in the world. This particular example is only a couple of years old and was lightly played by one owner before coming up for sale here for the first time. It’s in excellent condition and the pads are still in great shape with only light use. It just got a checkup and tune up and plays effortlessly. It won’t need much maintenance down the road either, as these horns are built to extremely high tolerances with great materials. Just get a checkup every year and you will be good to go for the foreseeable future assuming a normal amount of use. The WO1 alto actually is more fun to play than the WO10, to me at least, because it seems to vibrate under the fingers more. It feels like you’re in touch with the sound on one of these in a way that you don’t get on almost any other modern alto. Ergonomics, intonation, medium bright tone are all excellent. It works with basically any mouthpiece, so you can take the tone in the direction that you want with mouthpiece choice. You won’t go wrong with this!
