The Yanagisawa BWO2 is built for discerning players, from advanced students to professionals. Crafted entirely from bronze, it delivers the tonal depth and playing comfort required for serious performance across any musical setting. Its extended range, quick response, and solid intonation make it a dependable, long-term instrument.
The body, neck, bow, and bell are all made from solid bronze, which gives the horn a warmer, more resonant character than traditional brass. The tone is full and rounded, with strong projection and natural clarity. The low register speaks effortlessly, while the upper range remains focused and even.
The WO series mechanism has been redesigned for optimal ergonomics. Key movement is fluid, spring tension is well-balanced, and the redesigned right-hand pinky and thumb rests improve precision. The high F# is smoothly integrated, with no tonal break. The overall feel is immediate and precise, even in fast or complex passages.
Intonation is consistent across the entire range. The repositioned tone holes and refined bore geometry ensure pitch stability, whether in ensemble or solo work. The horn plays naturally with the air column, requiring no force.
Delivered with a durable wheeled case and a Yanagisawa ebonite mouthpiece, this baritone is a high-end, versatile instrument designed to meet the demands of jazz, classical, or any contemporary ensemble.
