Yanagisawa TWO1 Tenor Saxophone Overview
The Yanagisawa T-WO1 is a professional tenor saxophone designed around the responsive, centered playing character for which Yanagisawa instruments are well regarded. Its post-to-body construction and overslung octave mechanism distinguish it from the more extensively ribbed models in the WO series, giving professional players and advancing saxophonists a direct, articulate option for ensemble, commercial, jazz, and solo work.

Common Questions About the Yanagisawa TWO1
How does the TWO1 differ from the TWO10?
The T-WO1 uses post-to-body construction, an overslung octave mechanism, and single-arm low B and C keywork. The T-WO10 uses ribbed construction, an underslung octave mechanism, and double-arm low B and C keywork, creating a different response and feel within the same professional series.
What playing character is associated with the TWO1?
The TWO1 is generally valued for a centered tonal core, even response, precise articulation, and a direct feel. Mouthpiece and reed selection will shape its color and resistance for classical, jazz, commercial, and ensemble applications.
What professional features does the TWO1 include?
The model includes a high F# key, an improved front F mechanism, ergonomic palm keys, metal thumb rests, an F-key vibration-dampening bar, and a hand-engraved bell.
