The AWO20 certainly lives up to this as one of their best to date. Immediately, I could feel the benefits of some of the innovations they have made with this horn. The key action is very responsive, and the new design on the right pinky keys makes it particularly easy to glide across the low Eb and C. The Bronze body gives the saxophone a clear and warm tone, with a slight smoky edge to it that's especially noticeable when holding back dynamically. The ribbed construction adds slightly more mass to the sound when compared with the AWO2, something that certainly appeals to me.

After comparing the three of these horns, I found the AWO1 to be the perfect balance of the two. For me, it had a warm sound that wasn't stuffy in the low notes and was still quite free blowing with a soft level of resistance. It also played evenly and in tune throughout the whole range. All the horns in the Yanagisawa range are of the highest quality and for someone looking to upgrade from either a beginner or intermediate horn, they should find the AWO1 the perfect match.\" \u003cstrong\u003e- Jody\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Barnes \u0026 Mullins","offers":[{"title":"Gold Lacquer","offer_id":46024354562285,"sku":"AWO1","price":2846.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0301\/6081\/4139\/files\/yanagisawa-awo1-alto-saxophone-gold-lacquer-875991.jpg?v=1749591533"}],"url":"https:\/\/saxshop.com\/collections\/yanagisawa-alto-saxophones.oembed","provider":"SAX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
