Brand new Yanagisawa BWO10 professional baritone saxophone that is here and in stock now, ready to ship and priced $2k below Sweetwater/ retail price.The BWO10 is the top of the line Yanagisawa Elite baritone saxophone and tied with the BWO20 for the best baritone made today. I LOVE this horn. It is just so effortless to play and has such a gorgeous tone. It's hard to overemphasize the joy of having the low register just purr out of the horn even without a lot of air behind it. The tuning is amazing and ergonomics are world class. It's hard to beat.
(These are backordered almost everywhere, whether it says that when you checkout or not. Good luck getting one from the places I find when I google this model. They’re not actually there – if you get one elsewhere, you will likely have to wait for it to be manufactured and then drop shipped from overseas, and then pay a 15+% tariff to receive the delivery. Which isn’t what you really want when buying a saxophone this big.)
Better to have a specialty shop to do a new horn checkup on it, like this one got, and make sure everything is playing perfectly and setup properly, so that you get the full joy of playing a brand new baritone saxophone. The low register experience is incomparable – the low Bb and A just come out like any other note! Intonation is fantastic. Ergonomics likewise.
Unfortunately there is only one available. So once that’s sold, it may be some time before I get another one, with the long backorders there are for new Yanagisawa saxophones at present.
