The Yanagisawa baritone saxophones have long been known for their consistent and full voice. While the newest models inherit the WO Series sound concept, they are in many ways the culmination of a new design from the ground up, with a revised tone hole layout that delivers a scale of unparalleled stability. The new WO baritone series is the perfect blend of power and sensitivity.
