Yanagisawa Solid Silver Tenor Sax Neck
The Yanagisawa Solid Silver Tenor Sax Neck actually is made from Solid Sterling Silver (92.5% pure silver, 7.5% copper) as pure solid silver would be too soft. Sterling Silver is a heavier alloy than brass but it vibrates & responds exceptionally well. The use of solid silver tenor sax neck will produce a more resonant instrument that will have more tonal presence and versatility. This effectively amplifies whatever is put in to the horn by the player and mouthpiece. So mouthpieces that are dark by nature will be darker, richer & bigger when paired with the Yanagisawa Solid Silver Tenor neck. Mouthpieces that are brighter will be edgier, more brilliant and more powerful when paired with the Yanagisawa Solid Silver Tenor neck.

Models
These models are the replacement necks for the new WO Series models. They are compatible with both the T9 and T8 series horns. The new WO Series necks are fundamentally the same as the previous T9 models that they replaced but are available in 2 designs, the standard and engraved models

• WO30 Model Neck – No Engraving
• WO37 Model Neck – Engraved

Identifying a WO Neck from a 9 Series
The easiest way to identify whether your Yanagisawa solid silver tenor sax neck is a WO Series neck is by looking for the “YANY” stamp on the collar of the tenon. This stamp is seen on all WO Series necks and does not exist on the 9 Series necks. However, there is no performance difference between the previous T9 solid silver necks and the new WO Series solid silver necks.

What does the YANY stamp mean?
Yanagisawa saxophones are commonly referred to as a “Yany” (pronounced “YAH-nee”) by players. While there has never been an official spelling of this printed anywhere, Yanagisawa decided that the shortened term should be spelled YANY and not YANI as the word “yani” in Japan has another meaning associated with tobacco resin. So they have officially declared that “YANY” is the proper spelling! This is also the easiest way to determine whether a neck is a WO Series design or not as all WO Series necks will feature this stamp on the side of the collar at the neck tenon.
