Yanagisawa Short History


With a heritage of instrument making in Japan that traces back to 1893, Yanagisawa is recognized today as maker of the most carefully handcrafted family of artist level saxophones in the world, with models ranging from sopranino to baritone. In addition, the flutes and piccolos offered by Yanagisawa have won the highest praise of many of the world's most discerning and celebrated musicians.

Highly skilled artisans work with the most technologically advanced tools and machinery to produce every part of every saxophone at the Yanagisawa plant in Tokyo, where Mr. Takanobu Yanagisawa, son of the company's founder, continues to lead his firm in the pursuit of a simple but ambitious goal: to build the finest saxophones in the world.

These world-class Yanagisawa woodwinds are available in the United States and Canada exclusively from G. Leblanc Corporation.
