"The depth and texture they add is impressive. Richer harmonics across the range, they boost the sub-tones, the altissimo feels easier and clearer. They seriously add character!" scott@sax.co.uk

Yanagisawa 64 Brass Alto Neck Yanagisawa 64 Brass Alto Neck

I tried fitting this crook to a Yani 991 and found that this crook gave a more internalised and brighter tone than the standard Yani brass crook. Particularly around the mid-register, the tone was more focussed in middle frequencies, giving a very 'upfront' response.

In terms of fitting these crooks on other saxes, I found that they slot nicely on to the Yamaha 62 and Custom models, but I found them to be very loose on all Selmer and Keilwerth saxophones.

Yanagisawa 65 Brass Alto Neck Yanagisawa 65 Brass Alto Neck

I found the tone on this crook a lot fuller and more open than the 64. It seemed similar to the standard 991 crook, but with a tad more breadth to the tone for my money. It also produced a very expansive sub-tone. Very nice stuff!

Yanagisawa 66 Brass Alto Neck Yanagisawa 66 Brass Alto Neck

I found this crook to be fairly similar to the 64 in tone. Perhaps a tad more edge and hardness overall, and I don't think it was quite as open as the 65. A good choice if you want to cut through!

Yanagisawa 902 Bronze Alto Neck Yanagisawa 902 Bronze Alto Neck

If there is one criticism that's occassionally made about the Yani A901 it's that the tone is a little lightweight. Well, here's the solution - put a bronze crook on it. Tested here by our own Jim Cheek he described it as warmer with a more breathy vintage tone.

Yanagisawa 192 Gold Plated Bronze Alto Neck Yanagisawa 192 Gold Plated Bronze Alto Neck

This is Jim & Tristan's favourite. More open so less resistant allowing more air to flow through the sax. More resonant and more responsive. Basically, a bit more of everything you want! ......and we know it's not supposed to matter but it comes with some exquisite hand engraving!

80% gold and 20% silver creates this gorgeous "pink" plating on a solid brass neck. More open so less resistant allowing more air to flow through the sax. Unlacquered so it's more resonant and more responsive. Basically, a bit more of everything you want! ......and we know it's not supposed to matter but it comes with some exquisite hand engraving!

Yanagisawa 95 Sterling Silver Alto Neck Yanagisawa 95 Sterling Silver Alto Neck

"This solid silver crook reduces resistance when you blow and really opens the sound up. Its as if the air flows more smoothly over the silver. I tried it on my Guardala and the improvement was instantaneous and dramatic. For the same amount of effort so much more sound comes out of the sax. " Phill.
