The upgraded replacement for the T901 series, this TWO1 brass model is
suited just as well to aspiring beginners as to experienced
professionals. It has a strong tonal core thanks to a re-engineered bore
and toneholes, plus many upgraded features exclusive to the WO series
such as newly designed Front F Keys, Ride Side Keys and Right Pinky Key.

Single Arm
Yanagisawa’s
single arms used on the bell keys are extremely strong and have proved
reliable for many years. Higher-End models can benefit from double arm
bell keys.
Balanced Tri-Point Brace
The
bell and body are firmly linked by a three-point, balanced brace which
ensures structural resiliance and firm resonance, even when fortissimo
is sought.
Metal Adjustable
The
buffers used on the bell keys are metal – and therefore offer increased
longevity and accuracy over plastic – and are fully adjustable. This
means the aperture of the bell toneholes are within your control.
WO Series Bore and Tone Holes
In Yanagisawa’s
desire to constantly innovate, all new WO series saxophones have a
newly engineered bore and toneholes. This helps achieve a smoother blow
and even more precise intonation.
WO Series Brass Material
The WO series
saxophones benefit from a newly designed, newly engineered and specially
sourced brass material for improved sound and sonority.
C# – Bb Rocking Key
The C# and Bb keys have a rocking table / see-saw mechanism that allows for optimal speed and fluidity between these pitches.
WO1 / WO2 Style Hand Engraved
Yanagisawa WO1 and WO2 series saxophones now feature a uniquely styled, hand engraved pattern.
F-Auxiliary Key
This mechanism fitted to the F-Aux key ensures a proper seal of the pads when playing in the low ranges of the saxophone.
WO Series Redesigned front F Key
The Front F key on WO series saxophones has been redesigned to further improve the ease of fingering.
White Shell Lining
A
player’s fingers will rest comfortably in the indented white shell
keys. The white shell also enhances the beauty of the instrument while
also preventing the player’s fingers from slipping during technical
passages.
Body Mounted
The standard design for most regular saxes, the keys are mounted directly to the saxophone body.
Ebonite Mouthpieces
Ebonite
mouthpieces are favoured for their warm tone and ability to fit into an
ensemble seamlessly. However, as players discover their own voice,
switching to another style of mouthpiece can open up a whole world of
new tonal possibilities. Metal mouthpieces are often favoured by Jazz
players or soloists who need to stand out from the crowd.
WO Series Neck Plate
For Overslung necks, this new plate exclusive to the WO1 and WO2 models gives a tighter, more controlled tone.
Overslung
An
overslung octave mechanism is the standard system employed by most
regular saxophones. It is the simplest mechanism for manufacture, and is
to be found on 901, 902, W01 and W02 models. This system is also used
on solid silver tenor models.
Fluororesin Non-Stick Mechanism
As
standard octave key mechanisms can get sticky over time, Yanagisawa’s
flouroresin, non-stick coating ensures a reliable action with no
stickiness.
Metal Reflectors
Metal
reflectors are an improvement upon the standard plastic reflectors, and
they add clarity to the tone and improve playing response across the
whole dynamic range.
Air Tight Waterproof Pad
Yanagisawa’s
superb waterproof pad is totally air tight which allows complete
confidence in the instrument’s tonal integrity, plus the waterproof
material offers a greatly extended pad life.
WO Series Palm Key Plate
Previously
only available on the 99* series saxophones, the WO Series’ addition of
the palm key plate delivers high range resonance, acoustic depth, added
projection and added tonal stability.
Pointed Pivot Screws
Special
pointed pivot screws are used in all centre arms on Yanagisawa
saxophones. These screws precisely maintain the stability of the centre
arms, and help achieve a very high precision action.
WO Series Right Pinky Key
The angle of the Right ‘Pinky’ key on WO series saxophones has been improved to give a smoother fingering feel.
WO Series Right Side Key
The Right side key levers on WO series saxophones now has additional feet for a better touch. This affects the Bb, C and E.
Blue Steel Springs
Blue
Steel Spring are better than stainless steel – as used on most other
saxes – as they hold tension more effectively, and therefore enhance the
key action.
