This is a true Yanagisawa vintage “Elimona” 880 soprano saxophone, serial number 00157596. These horns are the hidden gem of the soprano world. This was the first model to offer interchangeable straight and curved necks, and also featured improved keywork from its predecessor, including better palm keys.
Sonically, it plays with a sweet, warm tone, not overly dark but definitely on the warmer side of the spectrum. A very emotive and flexible instrument, great for classical players obviously, but with a big enough and strong enough sound to take to any gig. A truly great soprano.
