The Yanagisawa SCWO20 Curved Soprano Saxophone with a bronze body is a finely crafted saxophone with premium features that musicians have come to expect from Yanagisawa. The benefit of having a bronze body is it adds more depth and warmth to the overall sound. The increased neck angle at the top of the SCWO20 curved soprano allows for more aggressive playing while also supporting a rich tone. Similar to other saxophones from Yanagisawa, the SCWO20 features indented white shell keys to prevent the player's fingers slipping during performances.

The 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 SCWO20 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 SCWO20 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 flouroresin which is a non-stick coating.

All of the centre arms on the SCWO20 use special pointed pivot screws which maintain the precision of the arms. As a standard for all Yanagisawa saxophones, the SCWO20 uses blue steel springs for enhanced key action.

Premium Design

The SCWO20 curved soprano saxophone is filled with premium design features that Yanagisawa is famous for. 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 SCWO20 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. The body, bow and neck of the SCWO20 is made from bronze so a much warmer sound can be produced compared to brass.

All of the pads on the SCWO20 are air-tight and waterproof which supports stability when playing while also extending the pad's life. Once the SCWO20 has been constructed a layer of clear lacquer is applied to the saxophone to keep the instrument looking amazing. As a standard for all Yanagisawa saxophones, the SCWO20 is hand engraved with a beautiful pattern by a highly skilled craftsperson.

Everything You Need

The SCWO20 Yanagisawa soprano saxophone includes a number of accessories that will allow you to start playing straight away. All Yanagisawa instruments come with a premium hard case, which stores the saxophone safely - ideal for transporting between rehearsals and concerts. Also included in this outfit is a top quality ebonite mouthpiece and ligature. Once you receive your saxophone you will have everything that you need to play straight from the box. These trusted saxophones are individually play tested before being shipped to ensure absolute quality.

Looking after your Yanagisawa sax

With everyone needing to use hand sanitiser much more these days, some people are concerned about maintaining hygiene without damaging their saxophones. Yanagisawa have conducted research into how you can sanitise your hands as well as your instrument without doing any harm. The results have found that Ethanol based disinfectants and sanitisers are the best choice, with 100 Ethanol chemicals causing almost no change in the finishes of the saxes. Whereas, Chlorine-based products caused significant damage, resulting in tarnished metal or loosened lacquer.

There are other tips to remember as well as the type of disinfectant. Make sure never to spray disinfectant directly onto your sax, instead use a soft cloth to wipe the body and metal mouthpiece. Then use a separate, dry cloth to wipe it again thoroughly to remove all residue. You should also make sure your hands are dry after sanitising before touching your instrument and never use heat, like steam or hot water, for cleaning. Don't use chlorine or ethanol-based antiseptics on Ebonite mouthpieces or SIXS ligatures.

Relax with a 3-year extended warranty and 30 day money back guarantee

You can relax knowing your new sax is covered. Gear4Music provides a 30 day money back guarantee as standard so you can check everything works for you. Then, with a 3-year extended warranty on Yanagisawa saxophones you can see how confident we are in the quality of this brand. You'll be looked after throughout this time if any manufacturing issues come up so you can focus on enjoying the music.
