AWO32 - Elite Model. The upgraded replacement for the highly regarded A9932J Peter King model, this AWO32 silver/bronze model offers a beautiful blend of a sterling silver neck and bell, and a lacquered bronze body and bow. This combination gives a superb tone that balances the purity of silver with the tonal richness of bronze. As this is a specially commisioned model for the UK, Yanagisawa's craftsmen have engraved the phrase "The World's Finest" in Japanese inside the bell. A true instrument for the accomplished player, it delivers a superb tonal range and also benefits from the WO series re-engineered bore and toneholes, and re-sourced and redesigned core brass material. This model also has many upgraded features exclusive to the WO series such as newly designed Front F Keys, Ride Side Keys and Right Pinky Key.
