Yanagisawa's professional saxophone lineup is primarily organized around different body materials and instrument designs. The brass models, including the WO1 alto, WO2 soprano, WO10 alto, and WO20 tenor, represent the core of the modern WO series, while bronze models such as the WO37 offer a different material and playing character. Yanagisawa also produces distinctive curved soprano models, including the SC-992, SC-WO20. Earlier generations, such as the A-901, A-991, A-992, S-901, S-902, and T-901, remain highly regarded and provide additional options for players interested in different generations and materials.
Choosing between Yanagisawa models depends primarily on the instrument type, body material, generation, and the player's preferred response and tonal characteristics. The modern WO series offers the latest development of Yanagisawa's design, while earlier models remain attractive to players seeking the particular characteristics of previous generations.
