The 901 (brass) and 902 (bronze) series have long been considered to be the reference point for a professional instrument. The choice of advancing students and seasoned professionals alike, 901 and 902 series instruments are loaded with many of the mechanically superior design features that have made Yanagisawa the leader in the field. This 902 model benefits from the darker tonal offering of bronze.
Alto 90* and 99* series models have now been replaced with the WO series models. Please refer to the AWO1/AWO2/AWO10/AWO20/AW030/AWO37 for Yanagisawa's current Alto saxophone range.

"Comfortable to play, easy to blow, wonderful tone."
"Hi. I bought my tenor sax a long while ago from John Myatt Woodwind in Hitchin. I am embarrassed to say I have only just started playing it regularly. It is an amazing instrument! I will try to do it justice. "
