Full Description
View Full DescriptionThe Yanagisawa Mechanism
As many saxophonists know, the key mechanism used on Yanagisawa saxophones is one of the best and most reliable in the world. The SC9937 curved soprano is no exception to this as the C# and Bb keys feature rocking table mechanisms that allow for enhanced speed between the different pitches. The underslung octave mechanism featured on the SC9937 is considered to have a quicker and more responsive action. This style of octave key is only found on premium saxophones from Yanagisawa. To help prevent the octave key mechanism from getting sticky, Yanagisawa coat the system in flouroresin which is a non-stick coating. All of the centre arms on the SC9937 use special pointed pivot screws which precisely maintain the precision of the arms. As a standard for all Yanagisawa saxophones, the SC9937 uses blue steel springs for enhanced key action.
Premium Design
The SC9937 curved soprano saxophone is filled with premium design features that Yanagisawa is renowned for. Around the soprano saxophone are indented white shell keys for comfortable playing. Not only do they enhance the beauty of the instrument, but they also prevent the musician's fingers from slipping during virtuosic passages. Around the back of the SC9937 there are two metal thumb rests which match the style of the saxophone. Similar to most saxophones from Yanagisawa, the right-hand thumb hook can be adjusted so the performer can find the perfect fit and customise their saxophone. The body, bow, bell and neck parts of the SC9937 are made from sterling silver which produces an effortless tone throughout all the registers. All of the pads on the SC9930 are air-tight and waterproof which supports stability when playing while also extending the pad's life. Unlike other curved soprano saxophones from Yanagisawa, the SC9937 has extensive fine hand engraving to complete this truly spectacular instrument.
