Yanagisawa B-901 Baritone Saxophone

Description

Yanagisawa is making some wonderful saxophones these days, and their sopranos and baritones are particularly great. This is a B901 bari in excellent condition. It has had a small dent removed from the bell flare, and there is some very light lacquer wear in a few places. Other than that, the horn is near mint, with no dents, dings, or past repairs. The pads are in great shape and the horn whispers down to low A effortlessly.

I am a big fan of Yanagisawa baris – they have amazingly good intonation across all three octaves, and the tone is warm, clear, and flexible. You can sound vintage with an older mouthpiece, or play R&B or funk just by swapping to a different mouthpiece. Ergonomics are very comfortable, and the horn feels light for being a low A.
