Yanagisawa. A weird name but wonderful machines. This is a brand name of saxophones that is my personal favorite. Some people like Selmer Mark VI, which is apparently the highest quality saxophone (I haven’t ever tried one though). The only problem with a mark VI is the outrageous cost. A new tenor online is priced at $19,000! I could buy a nice car for that amount. The great part about a new Yani sax is it only costs about $9,000 for the top line. But there are Yani saxes cheaper than that that play just as well, if not better than any sax. The price of the horn doesn’t always mean that it is better or worse than an expensive piece of metal.
My favorite sax is without a doubt Yanagisawa as they aren’t as expensive and they have a good sound quality. Besides the quality of the tone, they also look beautiful. There is one Bari in particular that looks amazing and I would love to add it to my collection…if I had unlimited amounts of money. Even though Yani’s are cheaper, 6 grand is a lot to drop on a piece of metal, especially for a high school kid. Just look at this beauty!
