The 991 (brass) and 992 (bronze) series are the next step up for the pro-player. With a superb, upgraded set of features including fully rib-mounted keywork, an underslung octave key and adjustable metal bell key buffers, an even higher level of tonal integrity is within reach. This unlacquered model will tarnish and mark much more easily than a lacquered instrument. The benefit is that the instrument will rapidly take on a vintage, used look.
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.
