Used for a few weeks a couple years ago for a project that didn’t pan out.. The 901 series have long been considered to be the reference point for a professional instrument. The choice of advancing students and seasoned professionals alike, 901 series instruments are loaded with many of the mechanically superior design features that have made Yanagisawa the leader in the field. This 901 brass soprano l has a one-piece body with a fixed neck and as such delivers a concise, clear tone across the range. Key: Bb Range: Low Bb to High F# Body: Brass Bow: Brass Keys: Brass Finish: Lacquered Neck: Brass Neck Type: One Piece Instrument Case: Leatherette Covered, Woodshell. 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. C# – Bb – B Rocking Key – The C#, Bb and B keys are all connected via a rocking / see-saw mechanism. This is a unique Yanagisawa feature and ensures the easiest transition between these pitches. Hand Engraved – Each Yanagisawa saxophone is hand engraved by highly skilled craftsmen. 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. Plastic Reflectors – Plastic reflectors fitted to the underside of the pads help the sound to project appropriately. 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.
