Yanagisawa B800 - Baritone Sax (00110585)

Product Information

Yanagisawa have a reputation among baritone players that goes beyond their standing on alto and tenor. The B800 is a professional baritone from their 800 series, introduced around the late 1970s and made until the early 1990s.

It is a low A baritone, with double arms on the low C and low B keys for a secure low register. Baritone is where build quality shows immediately, and Yanagisawa's is excellent: the bottom of the horn speaks easily and stays in tune, and the tone has real weight and core. It suits big band section work, orchestral doubling, or a player who needs a dependable low end.

This particular example is judged to be in fair condition. The lacquer is almost all in tact. There is just general wear and tear which you would expect from a 40+ year old instrument. It certainly looks great for it's age! Like all our pre-owned instruments it has been fully checked and set up in our woodwind workshop prior to sale, so you can buy with total confidence.
