Yanagisawa S800 Elimona Soprano Saxophone, Video Demo
Yanagisawa S800 soprano saxophone, s/n 117582. This design of this model was inspired by the Selmer Mark VI, and many of the playing characteristics and ergonomics are identical. I have played many Mark VI sopranos and this horn plays much like a Mark VI. The sound is full and beautiful, and getting around on it is a breeze. Plus, the sax has a neck strap ring, which Selmer never put on their Mark VI soprano.
This sax is in fantastic physical condition. It recently arrived from a longtime DC Sax customer and professional saxophonist who mostly plays soprano. This was his everyday horn. He chose to part with it in favor of a soprano with a curved neck.
