Description

Fifty years from now, this is the saxophone you will wish you had bought and kept. The Yanagisawa 9932J Alto is a 10/10 for a modern saxophone, with top quality build, materials, rarity, full engraving, and a great tone. Plus it’s repadded by Matt Stohrer. Solid silver neck and bell, solid bronze body tube and bow, with brass keywork. It’s the perfect combination for sound and beauty, in my opinion.

These horns are special order only, and this one was a special-ordered, unlacquered, fully-engraved example of the rare 9932J Yanagisawa top-of-the-line model alto. It is basically impossible to beat among modern altos, and I would be keeping it if I could afford to. These are $7500 new plus this one has the high-end overhaul on top!

The solid silver neck and bell give you an obvious increase in overtones and in focus to the tone. Plus they’re gorgeous. The bronze body tube and bow add depth and complexity to the tone compared to brass or silver. Once you play a bunch of Yanagisawas as I have, you will end up with this combination of materials for the best overall balance of tone. That’s why this model exists. It works with any mouthpiece, and it sounds great in both jazz and classical contexts. Intonation is excellent. The reliability is also maxed out with Yanagisawa’s best-in-the-world build and Matt Stohrer’s equally good pad work.

This horn is a deal at this price all day long. It blows away any other modern alto in my book, and for a pro sax, it’s quite affordable! Only one available to one lucky buyer.
