Wai wai,

我想問你聽過你同學個支 yanagisawa好唔好聲呢 ...?
其實我都想買支 soprano, 不過要成 16,000元啊....
好貴....
還是 unison 好呢?
請高手們指點迷津 ..

to waiwai,torrey:
我自己是Yanagisawa的fans, 其實如果你想換一支好樂器既話, 我就覺得 Yanagisawa OR Selmer, 我個時點解會買Yanagisawa係因為我覺得d手感好舒服, d聲好好聽, 試完真係有d唔想放手既感覺~哈
unison 我都試過, 音色都唔錯, 不過都係無yanaisawa咁厚聲,其實好多人都知yanaisawa saxophone好正, 不如你地上去譜揚trytry架,費時人地以為我幫佢地sale呀,不過就唔知有冇貨喇~

我都係用Yanagisawa，三年前買了一支A992bronze model，D聲靚到飛起，手工全無瑕疵，因此最近又買了一支S991。Yanagisawa以質論價，一點也不算貴，我認為比Yamaha及Selmer更便宜。唯一缺點是來貨相當少，很多時候都要預訂，最近譜揚剛來一批新貨，相信不用一個月便會銷清，有興趣可以一試，試完之後只有一個感覺：為何自己的荷包不爭氣？

jason,
我已經target 了 s901, 不過譜揚話想試下入 s981,
其實我想問yanagisawa 好在那裡呢 ?
成日聽人話好, 不過自己又未試過,(怕不好意思)
吹完要人清潔....
我吹的是 alto conn 24m, 還不錯...
我是 yamaha的大反派, 我一定不會買它啊..呵呵:)
順帶一提, 我知今個月初會有 yanagisawa 返貨...
不過因日元高企.....要加價了....
所以我成日心思思想買 unison, 但search 過好多網站, 沒有很多的知名度和comment, 請問平凡人可否comment 一下unison 的高中低音與yanagisawa 的分別?

yanagisawa好在音準，而且音質好，手感和操控更是各牌子之冠。
個人感受，我是比較愛好selmer的音質，但是操控和手感都是yanagisawa好。而992系列在音質上是可以和selmer比[尤其你係玩jazz feel]。當然你喜歡那種就看自己的喜好。
yamaha的音準是最準的準得比yanagi還準，不過總覺得音質死死實實沒有彈性和個性。而且可以話支支都一樣，不過新的yamaha怎樣我就不知道了，大家可發表下感受。
unison給我的感覺是一般，但我試過它磨沙金的soprano，比我的yanagisawa更好。其他post都有人兄提過unison的音質比較薄，而磨沙這一款就增架了音質的厚度，可以一試。
B&S，坦白說我個人覺得不太好吹。好用力，而且音色一般。
cannonball big bell都可以一試，尤其是沒有上漆的model，音色很吸引。

I have owned a Unison Satin Gold Soprano, bought from Professional Music 2 years ago at HK$11,000, never been used, not even once, you can check it if you don't believe me. It has been stored in my house for 2 years now and it is out of warranty (sorry to say), I intend to sell it out at HK$6,000!!!!! What a Great Bargain!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, I have no digital camera. But we can arrange a time for you to see it. Totally free, no obligation to buy it, just to see it. Anytime this week or next. If no body wants it for ONE week, I will sell it to my teacher who was also interested in it. (But he has always been very very mean to me, I hate him and I don't want to give him such a good bargain!!!! I would rather give it to you or anybody than to him).

SS100GG - HK$11000 bought from Professional Music, now sell HK$6000. 100% new! If not new, you can walk away.

I have another one, better one, Yanagisawa S-992 bronze, I bought this as a backup, but S-992 was so much better in sound, tone and mechanism, but of course much much much much more expensive!!!!!! And S-992 never breaks down, so I have no use for this backup horn at all.

Hello, I'm an owner of the Yanagisawa babes - alto A9933 and tenor T9930. They're awefully special in the SUPERB TONAL QUALITY as well as the UNIQUE CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN (intervening solid silver/brass pipes) that I left many memorable musical moments to my partners and audience in every performance!

Certainly, there's no free lunch on earth - A9933 and T9930 cost me HKD 30000+ and 40000+ respectively. But if you think you're a devoted amateur (like me) or professional, that's the most appropriate INVESTMENT (I prefer to use this word) to bloom your musical experience for LIFELONG.

Actually all the Yani 9XX series are performing above average. Depending on your goal and budget you should be able to find the balance and your dream sax. (I could only afford the 2 above but not 9937 or even higher custom models.)

For the general comments about Yanagisawa and various productions of the other brands, just have a look at the suppliers'description and customers' feedback in www.wwbw.com (Woodwind & Brasswind, the biggest American online musical gear supplier)

Cheers!

Agreeeeee!! I am another happy owner of Yanagisawa 9xx serie (S-992). As a beginner, it helped me to approve 10-folds!!

Amazingly, as a total beginner 3 years ago, I could get as high as Hi-G smoothly and beautifully with S-992's Hi-G key in my SOPRANO!!

Hi Dickenson,

How do you think the sound of S992 - a typical classical-stream soprano sax? Personally I have prejudice against soprano saxophones - because sometimes they just sound like an oboe! Have you ever tried the silver models such as S9030/S9930 and do they sound like a trumpet?

Steve

I meant "it helped me to improve 10-times faster in the past few years!"

Steve,

You are exactly right! S-992's high copper percentage gave it the sound exactly like an oboe - very sweet, soft and round. I have never tried S-993(?) or S9930 Solid Silver, because I have never had the chance, but I assume the solid silver would give much "ding" sound, ringing tones, and more projection & overtones, just like silver trumpets or my solid silver flutes.

Also, I heard that it was the reason why Yanagisawa used Brass Neck on Solid Silver to warm the tone a little, in order to reduce the "Ding" and "Ring".

Personally, I liked the round, sweet sound of an oboe, it touches my heart. I tried to play Oboe, but oboe's Hi-A and above gave me a lot of trouble on my upper lip - because my upper lip is weak. So I gave up oboe years ago.

I then moved on to Soprano to play oboe pieces and it really sounded like an Oboe. But some of my friends told recently that my tone is very sad (out of S-992). Maybe it was me.

Dickenson,

I see why this 'metal oboe' is your favourite. So, it won't be the fantasy for me. As I'm inclined to jazz, I need an edgy and bright sound.
But I've heard it's a different story for T992 (also a bronze model). The additional warmth makes it an ideal instrument in producing dark blue notes. Hmmm, I'm going to get it...

Wow, this is another newbie from Yanagisawa! This is not the A9937 that you're familiar with, it's S9937 with fairly the same basic design!
