Description
The first in the series of Yanagisawa’s Elite range
This silver-plated brass model contains the new tonal possibilities of a stronger core tone and focussed sound. The response is superb and the intonation is perfect. A top-notch professional soprano sax!
This SWO10 silver-plated brass model is an instrument for the accomplished player. It delivers a superb tonal range with an unmistakably darker edge thanks to the fine brass body, and it also benefits from the WO series re-engineered bore and toneholes, and re-sourced and redesigned core brass material. This model also has many upgraded features exclusive to the WO series such as newly designed Front F Keys, Ride Side Keys and Right Pinky Key.

Reviews
"Yanagisawa have really done a superb job here – having always enjoyed playing on the 900 series models, they’ve gone one step further and changed the bore specification such that there is an extra focus and distinguished core in the sound. From the player’s point of view, it’s really easy to get into this sound-world and start shaping your music effectively. The brass gives me a nice overall warmth in tone, while the response is immediate and very clean. The two necks give you options for the playing angle, and you may also notice a subtle difference in the way they each play" - Jim (Sax.co.uk)
