The AW02 is identical in construction to the new AW01 but with a bronze body and neck adding warmth to the tone and looking superb.

Like the AW01, the AW02's keywork has been subtley re-shaped in significant places to aid control and smooth fingering. When combined with Yanagisawa's feather-light action this makes the AW02 a real joy to play, leaving you in no doubt that it will keep up with whatever you demand of it.

Further improvements have been made to the AW02 including a redesigned bore and tone-holes, a palm key plate (previously only on more expensive models) and a new neck plate. These all result in a more solid and even tone with greater resonance and all the warmth of the bronze body.

When added to Yanagisawa's standard attention to detail, including a teflon coated octave mechanism for smooth operation, blue-steel springs and air-tight and waterproof pads for stability and longevity, and indented white shell keys to aid accurate fingering, this results in a really professional feeling and sounding sax for a fantastic price.

The AW02 is supplied as an outfit with a quality hard case, mouthpiece, ligature and cleaning kit.
