The Yanagisawa SC992 features the same stability of pitch, quality of tone and technical sophistication as the SC991 but the bronze metal adds much depth and warmth. This curved soprano is a beautifully designed and finely crafted saxophone. Its increased neck angle gives it richer tone and makes it more capable of aggressive playing, while many little refinements combine to make it especially fast, smooth, and articulate .

"Built quality is solid/great. Ergonomics is a perfect fit/comfortable. Tuning and intonation is accurate and even throughout from Bb to high F. Key action is smooth. Sling/strap is very good and useful. Case is strong and cute.
You could consider adding more accessories like cork grease, pull-through swab."
