Yanagisawa Alto Saxophones

A saxophone really is an instrument that's one-of-a-kind in a lot of ways. Not only does it bring the concepts of brass and woodwind together to create something better than the sum of its parts, it's also achieved a legendary status in countless musical styles. One of the secrets to their success is the number of varieties that saxes come in, and one of the key players in the lineup is the alto sax. And when you're looking to find one at the highest tier, you're on the right track with Yanagisawa alto saxophones.
