I have a AWO2 and it is the best alto saxophone I have played so far. I have normal sized palms but small hands and the keywork fit my hands perfectly. I have only had mine for a month but I had to get the neck recorked to fit my mouthpieces but other that was it. WHile there is more of a resistance and I do feel it, the sound seemed immediate and I didn;t have much issues when playing a low Bb which I sometimes have issues getting getting out cleanly. The sound to me was cantered, warm and mellow but it projects very well and it stays in tune easily. It has solid, amazing build quality and I could not fault it at all besides the neck cork being too thick. I upgraded from a Yamaha YAS-280 after playing for around 2 years and 8 months and couldn't be happier. Its a bit heavier than the Yamaha is, but the YAS-280 is light for an alto sax.
Yanagisawa doesn’t make student or intermediate horns. So please pass on correct information. Yanagisawa only makes pro horns and the W01 series is their entry level pro horn. And it’s not WO it’s W zero 1
No, that’s incorrect. That’s an O after the W, not the number zero. You’re right, though, that Yanagisawa only makes professional saxophones. I’m lucky to be able to play one professionally!🎷
0:37 WO1
4:35 WO10
7:52 WO20
Thanks

would like to have also heard the W02
WO10 for me.... Def... Much warmer rounder sound.
I've the TW020 that I love. But I've the SW020 I can't get bellow low D, and F and E struggle. Recommendations?
Who is this Ben guy and where can I hear more of him?
I like the WO1 but I want the under slung neck. too bad. Why do they do that?
Tenor?
Hi ..
I would be happy to know what the price is The WO10 elite model vs the WO1 professional model.
Alto saxophone seller how much cost replace her
What’s the full name of the sax player? I may want to contact him for sax lessons
In Ireland we call them WO1 ,WO10, & WO20 but in OZZ some twats call them the WOOs here we see a twat at 3:40 put in his place "Nice"
Get a life
LMAO Brian. Good craic.

which of the three would be best for jazz, that's what I play most, but I still want a sax that can play everything
It all depends on what you prefer it’s too hard to say one is better then another for a certain genre of music.
Can you do an yanagisawa AWO20S silver plated bronze alto?
This would be a custom order instrument & the earliest it would come into stock would be around the end of May 2017.
this applies to tenor saxes too right?
Correct
No mention of the C#-B linkage. Wonder if you find that to be beneficial or just hype?
It’s great, very helpful for chromatic passages.
WO10>WO1>WO20
What was the mouthpiece/reed setup on the awo20?
Aizen Jazzmaster 6, with a Legere Signature 2.75 reed
Is aw020 better than aw02 for classical music. For sheet music like perfect by ed sheeran which sax would better to play on.
Add the WO20 is expensive $ almost $9000 CDN$. Is it worth it to get a "bronze" sax?
It all depends on what you prefer, I’d recommend playing both the Wo10 and 20 to really see what you like.
I love the sound of the W010 can’t understand why the price difference from the w020
The Wo20 is constructed of bronze which is more expensive then the Wo10 which is constructed from brass.
et les sopranos , ils sont à la poubelle ???
This guy has no clue first of all it’s a w-o not wo. And yanagisawa doesn’t make student instruments. They only make professional saxophones
