The Collection: Altoos 
The feminine side of sax . . .

 
Yanagisawa Eb Straight Sopranino 
Perfectly formed, measuring merely 18 1/2 inches overall -- less than 3 inches across the bell flare !! Range to high E, and it goes without saying, a challenge to play in tune in the upper range. This finely preserved example from the 1970's still looks as it did on the craftsman's bench.

Conn Gold Plated Bb Straight Soprano Saxophone
Satin gold plate (95% intact) is slightly worn only at the key touches. Restored by Charles Fail Music in Marietta, Georgia, using Conn Reso Pads. Distinguishing characteristics include key work to High F, thumb ring and masterful engraving. From 1927 (199,xxx ser#), the midst of the Chu Berry period. Rolled tone holes & cross-hatched G# key. Seductively dark, luscious tone.

Yanagisawa Bb Curved Soprano Saxophone 
Currently the only 'new' sax in the collection, this is the model SC900 with curved style neck. There is also a bent neck (alto-like shape) design, but the curved neck is preferred for it's better intonation tendencies & playing comfort. Very bright tone and fine intonation. Keywork is to high F#.
