Description
The B-WO1 by Yanagisawa is a favourite among professionals, schools and students alike for its ease to play. The WO1 model is a brass body and bell suitable for playing in classical or jazz settings, giving that iconic big bari sound. This model replaces the 901 model and provides significant ergonomic and quality of life upgrades to the instrument, these are as follows:
| Feature | Description |
| Fluororesin-sleeved octave rocker | Lost motion is eliminated and smooth octave-key action is ensured by rounding the octave rocker ends |
| C#-Bb table key linkages | The seesaw linkage between the C# and Bb table keys facilitates faster, smoother fingering technique. |
| Adjustable vibration-damping bar | This enhancement dampens sympathetic vibrations in the right-hand F# key, thus stabilizing the production of notes in the lower register. |
| Genuine mother-of-pearl touches | Indented mother-of-pearl key touches are attractive, afford the fingertips a more natural fit and feel |
| Metal thumb hook & rest | Designed to make minimal point contact with the body, the thumb hook enables the instrument to resonate more freely |
| Pointed pivot screws | For the utmost in precision and reliability, pointed pivot screws ensure that centre arms or hinge rods are an exact fit |
| Sealed, waterproof pads | Airtight pads facilitate balanced, leak-free play while quality waterproofing extends pad service life. |
| Needle springs | Blued-steel needle springs are more elastic than the stainless-steel variety, offer faster action and render a better command of difficult passages |
| Tri-point brace | The tri-point bell-bow brace ensures structural stability and rigidity and enhances resonance even at fortissimo levels |
