"I think that with this instrument Yanagisawa have created a saxophone that is equal to the Selmer MKVI and it will become a much sought after saxophone now and in the future. All you have to do is play one and one is captivated by the sound and playability of the instrument."
"Delighted with the feel and the tone. I have played a Yani soprano for some years and was pleased with how familiar the new tenor felt under the fingers."
"Great instrument.
Out of the box, with store check up, great intonation, specially on low end and high end. The 2nd Octave D seems less projecting that other notes, maybe due to construction. "
"Initial impression is that it has a lovely warm rich tone. It has a nice feel to play with good response."
"Alluring, Superb, and Exquisite."
"Not really tried it yet but seems OK"
"I am a Yanagisawa fan anyway. But this sax i can sum up in one word, perfect. Having tried several comparable and more expensive instruments and spent over 4 hours playing and comparing each one, nothing gave even a hint of serious competition. "
"I love my new 'Yany' it plays superbly, feels great and looks really stunning!!!"
"Wonderful,it's easy to play with excellent tone."
"Excellent!"
"I love it!"
