Key Features
The Yanagisawa SCWO10 Soprano Saxophone is an elite curved soprano designed for accomplished players who want expressive control and refined playability. Offering a moderate level of resistance, it delivers a deep, flexible sound while allowing you to shape your tone with confidence. The redesigned tone holes improve intonation, while the detachable body and bow make servicing more convenient without compromising performance.
Its rib-mounted keywork increases structural strength while contributing to resonance and tonal stability. Refinements including an improved Right Pinky key, modified left palm key, strengthened G key, and underslung octave mechanism provide a comfortable, responsive playing experience. Finished with hand engraving, genuine mother-of-pearl key touches, and a durable gold lacquer, the SCWO10 combines detailed craftsmanship with practical features for demanding rehearsals, recordings, and live performances.
Product Ref: 121845
The SCWO10 is part of Yanagisawa's Elite series, developed for accomplished players seeking refined control and musical expression. Its moderate resistance encourages a balanced response that allows you to shape dynamics and phrasing with confidence. Redesigned tone holes improve intonation throughout the instrument, helping notes speak evenly across the range. The curved soprano design also offers a comfortable playing position that many performers find natural during longer sessions.
The detachable body and bow make the SCWO10 easier to maintain while preserving the instrument's professional construction. Rib-mounted keywork strengthens the mechanism while contributing to resonance and tonal stability. A balanced tri-point bell brace reinforces the connection between the body and bell, helping maintain structural rigidity while supporting resonance, even during more powerful passages. Metal adjustable bell key buffers also provide accurate setup with long-lasting durability.
Every aspect of the keywork has been designed to encourage smooth, reliable performance. The modified Right Pinky key and left palm key improve hand positioning, while the strengthened G key uses a German silver rod for added durability. Yanagisawa's C#, Bb, and B rocking key mechanism supports fluid note transitions, and the underslung octave system delivers a quick, responsive feel. Genuine mother-of-pearl key touches provide a secure grip for confident playing.
The SCWO10 includes a range of mechanical refinements that help maintain consistent playability over time. Blue steel needle springs deliver fast, responsive key action, while pointed pivot screws ensure precise alignment across the mechanism. A fluororesin-coated octave system reduces sticking, and airtight waterproof pads maintain a dependable seal while extending pad life. Supplied with various accessories, the SCWO10 is ready for professional use straight away.
