Yanagisawa SCWO10 Soprano Saxophone, Gold Lacquer - Secondhand

Full Description

Yanagisawa mechanism

As many saxophonists know, the key mechanism used on Yanagisawa saxophones is one of the best and most reliable in the world. The SCWO10 curved soprano is no exception to this as the C# and Bb keys feature rocking table mechanisms that allow for enhanced speed between the different pitches.

The underslung octave mechanism featured on the SCWO10 is considered to have a quicker and more responsive action. This style of octave key is only found on premium saxophones from Yanagisawa. To help prevent the octave key mechanism from getting sticky, Yanagisawa coat the system in fluororesin which is a non-stick coating.

All of the centre arms on the SCWO10 use special pointed pivot screws which maintain the precision of the arms. As a standard for all Yanagisawa saxophones, the SCWO10 uses blue steel springs for enhanced key action.

Premium design

The SCWO10 curved soprano saxophone has many premium design features. Around the soprano saxophone, there are indented white shell keys for comfortable playing. Not only do they enhance the beauty of the instrument, but they also prevent the musician's fingers from slipping during virtuosic passages.

Around the back of the SCWO10 are two metal thumb rests which match the style of the saxophone. Like other saxophones from Yanagisawa, the right-hand thumb hook can be adjusted so the performer can find the perfect fit. All of the pads on the SCWO10 are air-tight and waterproof which supports stability when playing while also extending the pad's life.

Once the SCWO10 has been constructed, the saxophone has a layer of clear lacquer applied to mellow the sound whilst also providing a professional appearance. As a standard for all Yanagisawa saxophones, the SCWO10 is hand engraved with a beautiful pattern by highly skilled craftspeople.
