Yanagisawa SCWO10 Curved Soprano Saxophone - Gold Lacquer

Yanagisawa SCWO10 Curved Soprano Saxophone - Gold Lacquer

The Yanagisawa SCWO10 Soprano Saxophone is a top-quality curved soprano saxophone for professionals and advanced players. Similar to other professional Yanagisawa saxophones, this horn's mechanisms are mechanically superior compared to competitors. The increased neck angle at the top of the instrument allows for more aggressive playing while also supporting a rich tone. The SCWO10 features indented white shell keys to prevent the player's fingers slipping during performances. The brass body provides that massive, classic saxophone tone, which when combined with the deluxe hand engraving, revised bore size, and white shell key tops create a magnificent instrument. Unlike many expensive saxophones, this horn comes with an ebonite mouthpiece. Ebonite is favoured for its warm tone and you will be able to blend with any ensemble.This saxophone comes with a leatherette covered wood shell case and a Yanagisawa ebonite mouthpiece so you can start practising straight away.

Yanagisawa mechanism

As many saxophonists know, the key mechanism used on Yanagisawa saxophones is one of the best and most reliable in the world. The SCWO10 curved soprano is no exception to this as the C# and Bb keys feature rocking table mechanisms that allow for enhanced speed between the different pitches. The underslung octave mechanism featured on the SCWO10 is considered to have a quicker and more responsive action. This style of octave key is only found on premium saxophones from Yanagisawa. To help prevent the octave key mechanism from getting sticky, Yanagisawa coat the system in fluororesin which is a non-stick coating. All of the centre arms on the SCWO10 use special pointed pivot screws which maintain the precision of the arms. As a standard for all Yanagisawa saxophones, the SCWO10 uses blue steel springs for enhanced key action.

Premium design

The SCWO10 curved soprano saxophone has many premium design features. Around the soprano saxophone, there are indented white shell keys for comfortable playing. Not only do they enhance the beauty of the instrument, but they also prevent the musician's fingers from slipping during virtuosic passages. Around the back of the SCWO10 are two metal thumb rests which match the style of the saxophone. Like other saxophones from Yanagisawa, the right-hand thumb hook can be adjusted so the performer can find the perfect fit. All of the pads on the SCWO10 are air-tight and waterproof which supports stability when playing while also extending the pad's life. Once the SCWO10 has been constructed, the saxophone has a layer of clear lacquer applied to mellow the sound whilst also providing a professional appearance. As a standard for all Yanagisawa saxophones, the SCWO10 is hand engraved with a beautiful pattern by highly skilled craftspeople.

Everything you need

The SCWO10 Yanagisawa soprano saxophone includes a number of accessories that will allow you to start playing straight away. All Yanagisawa instruments come with a premium hard case, which stores the saxophone safely - ideal for transporting between rehearsals and concerts. Also included in this outfit is a top quality ebonite mouthpiece and ligature. Once you receive your saxophone you will have everything that you need to play straight from the box.
