Phenominal instrument - PHENOMINAL review!! Oh, I wish every review could be as good as this. No more, no less than required. No BS. Great job!! MORE please!!!
Wow! I can definitely hear a stark contrast between the horns, which is surprising because normally all saxes sound the same to me. I would actually say I prefer the sound of the AWO1. I think the sounds got a bit more character and cuts more. Both horns sound great as always!
wonderful videos Dan
So helpful - and none of the usual waffle found in so many of these kinds of reviews. Interesting all the way through. Thanks!
Thank you Christy!
You play beautifully. I'm thinking of buying one of these,even though I'm just a beginner,long haul and all that. Now for the bank manager! Thank you.
Exceptional review... EXCEPTIONAL SAXOPHONE. WOW.
I am in the market seriously for an alto and the Yanagisawa AWO1 is now on my short list.
j r probably the best made saxophones in the world. They sound great and are made to an extremely high standard.
@@vladimirlopez7840 How time flies, I purchased the Yanagisawa AWO1 a while back and have not looked back......
@@jetcarddude Still happy with it? :)
I have just bought an AWO2 and I really like the case it comes in. I had the springs adjusted for a lighter key action which felt great. I upgraded from a Yamaha YAS-280 after over 2 years of playing on it, My initial thoughts are that it has amazing build quality and all the keys feel in the right place, which is especially good for me since I have normal sized palms but slightly short fingers and my fingers feel comfortable on the key pearls. 5:32 I really like this on the Yani and I wish all saxophones had that. My Conn-Selmer Avant DSS-200 straight soprano long rods flex quite easily and it could really use the bracing. I really like the front F key as you say you can just slide your finger onto it easily.
I only had one small issue with it, the neck cork was too thick to fit my Selmer Claude Delangle mouthpiece as it fitted quite tight and will have to get that sorted but I was able to do a playtest of it and I found it has a rich, mellow yet powerful sound. The sound is immediate but it requires more air than my Yamaha YAS-280 and I felt like I was running out of breath quicker so I'll just have to spend time to adjust to that and get used to playing it but so far I feel it is the best saxophone I have ever played. I have a Corry Bros tone tablet I used in my Yamaha and tried it in the AWO2. I found it added a slight amount of resistance and a bit more brightness to the overall sound, but I prefer the feel and sound without it. Excellent saxophones.
That was an epic bit of playing in the beginning
Great review, thank you!
I own the Tenor. TWO1 I love that horn.
I am concerned that the AW01 is overly bright, would that be a problem if I want a dark and warm sound?
Man. I found a selmer ref 36 recently for a good price. And a selmer tenor was a dream for years and so I had to buy it. It plays and sounds wonderful. But I wish I had time to test a yani tenor first. I'm only a hobbyist so can't afford another. :-p
Great review. I was able to get a good idea of how it plays. Just a little bit of feedback- I think a little bit less reverb might be a good thing, just to get a little bit more clarity. Thanks!!
I like the sound of your personal horn as it sounds much warmer to me. Clearly the control you have over your horn steps forward in a dramatic way. Nice Work
Dan. Great video thank you quick question. Comparing this to the Yamaha 62, how would you compare them what would be your preference and why 👍👍
Nicely done. I have to say I preferred the sound of the 2nd one. Really made me want to upgrade.
My AWO1 doesn't feel as good as my 25 years old yani.
The right-hand pinki, E flat and C just feel funny.
And some other keys seem a bit high.
I wonder if it just needs adjusting?
Fine! I have purchased aw01 now. What neck can I put on?
Excellent review as always and really love your channel. I was wondering what you thought about the pmauriat horns especially the system 76 dark lacquer alto?
Hi Dave, I think they're good horns, but they are overpriced for what they are.
Fan video. Couldn’t quite hear what the last mouthpiece was and I’d love to know to do a bit more research on it
Many thanks
I don't know, man, you call it "depth" of sound, but the 991 honestly sounded kind of stuffy to me. You swapped horns in the video when I wasn't paying attention and I went "WHOA." The AWO1 sound is so much cleaner to me. That's all subjective, of course. You sound great on both of them.
check out andrew gould's new album. one of the best new young artists out there! on an awo1.
Hey Dan, love your videos! You seem like quite the Yanagisawa evangelist, was hoping you could give me your opinion on their line! I recently got an A-901 with the bronze neck and I love the way it plays. It felt a little dead with the stock neck, but the bronze neck really brought it to life. I'm enjoying it enough that it might replace my mark vi!
My question is... You kind of touched on it in your video, but do you think the newer AW01, or 02 is worth the upgrade from an A901 for non-professional community player? I'm by no means a full-time player, but I do sit in with a couple professional big bands and the local symphony when they need a sax, so I def benefit from that Yanagisawa versatility.
thanks!
Hi Andrew they're both superb saxophones. I guess if you're happy with your current setup then stick with it - you make more difference than the gear! However, there is an noticeable upgrade on the WO series from the previous versions, (better ergonomics & a more centred tone. )
Dave have you considered reviewing the silver altos? 9935, 9937 or the new ones?
Dan... I have no words... I want back play sax, i'm looking for Yamaha yas 62, but Yani.... Really monster! Please tell me what i have do... Buy Yamaha or Yani...??? Sorry my english
Same problem
Yamaha -Proba , Yanagisawa Proba, Tatamovich Proba, polish sausage factory Proba, 1990’s techno and tkmaxx tracksuit Proba, Kurva biliach , I’m polish best saxophone player in world , like betman
Yanagisawa's very expensive? Hate to think what you think Selmers are then 😂
The AWO1 is the lowest priced sax in their line and it is not a student sax but a professional level sax. So if you compare it to a Yamaha professional sax, they are actually close in price and the Yamaha (I believe) is more expensive. Do not compare it to a student model sax or even an intermediate level sax because the build and quality of an AWO1 is just much better.
Selmer is overpriced for sure. The Yani AWO1 is priced closely the the Yamaha YAS62 both professional saxes but the Yanigasawa is a better instrument all around. I was debating on a YTS62 tenor from Yamaha and the TW01 Tenor from Yanigasawa and bought the Yani its better made has better key work and just a better horn.
It was a very wonderful review
Would you be able to review AWO 37?
Thanks - I'll do my best to get hold of one, but I'm dependent on Yani sending me one over
Dan Forshaw Thank you very much
This is all the sax any one really needs (or the Wo2). The "Elite" models (W010 and W020...) probably just "cash grabs" with "features" most players don't really need or will notice are there. Doesn't really seem worth spending the money for a flagship model. From any brand. As mentioned...you don't get $2000 more or better sound. Nor will the ergo be better or even different.
With Keilwerth...MKX vs SX90...one has straight-tone holes and one round (SX90)...The SX90 comes in a few finishes not available on the MKX...mechanically? I'm not sure they would affect the sound you'd get in the SX90 over a MKX...maybe you could do a video comparing the 2?
Do you have second hand Yanagisawa Alto saxophone ?
Thank you for review.
Can you tell what is the name of the classical piece you play at the last part of the video.
What would you like it to be called? I just improvised it!
Please i need the dimensions (cm) of the yani alto case
It would be nice to compare it to a cannonball big bell stone series
Yamaha saxophone how much Indian currency how much currency replay please sir Yamaha saxophone how much cost reply please 🙏
W01 definitely sounded light and cant compare to ur 991. Im a yani user... The new series cant really compare to old .
Wrong comparison. Not in thesame category. 991 vs Awo 10 or Awo 1 vs 901 .
2000 pounds, wow $5000.00 here in Canada.
You should see a doctor, It's not normal to sweat that much just standing and playing, on January.
Loved the review, you're a monster player dude.
Take care.
UA-cam STOP ASKING ME TO JOIN YOUR PAID SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!! ANNOYING AS HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
I want to find a girl that looks at me the way he looks at the Yani from 5:50-5:55
991 still sounds better
Yanagisawa.🎷
