The A9932Z is the Peter King model, exclusive to the UK and Japan. It is rare! It is refined! It is the pinnacle, the apex of the sax world, we have one, and I got to test it! 

The tone is excellent, well centred, clear and defined throughout. It is rich and full yet with a sweet bright edge to it. The bronze brings a vintage quality which is balanced nicely against the silver's brilliant crisp edge. The gold plating produced and richness and clarity, especially at the bottom end which can be difficult to achieve. A9932Z combines all the great qualities of the various metals, using them for maximum effect and tonal enhancement.  Dynamically the A9932Z is fantastic! I had total control and confidence, from a whisper to a Alpine horn I could just blow and when going for sub-tone...oh, it was just spine chilling! The intonation is spot on and totally refined, this washed away all my anxieties so I was able to concentrate on interpretation and expression. It is like the A9932Z wants to take me on a musical exploration of creativity and tone. The action is very ergonomic (which one has come to expect form Yani's) and has a real fluid motion.

Call it a renaissance, a revolution, call it it what you want, this is truly one of the most beautiful saxes I have ever seen! Aesthetically, the A9932Z is exquisite. It has stunning engraving on the bell and crook which adds pure class to it. This is the crown jewels of the sax world, honoured by the king, Peter King!
