And I mean players other than those who have their own YouTube channels like Dan Forshaw, Jay Metcalf, Snake Davis, etc. Nothing against those guys - I generally enjoy their videos. But I'd love to see more videos of jazz players playing acoustic jazz in the straight ahead style who play on Yanis. Seems like you can find a number of folks who play Yani altos and soprano but it's pretty rare to find a Yani tenor player.

Thanks...

Antonio Hart, Tia Fuller?

Sorry, I missed the tenor part.

David Kana plays on a Yanagisawa and is the soloist on this track.

Vincent Herring used to play a Yani tenor some years back (though he is primarily an alto player) - not sure if he still does.

Altos and sopranos galore! But you are right that I can’t think of any tenors. I think they have a decent market share for classical tenor players, but I can’t think of any famous jazz or rock/pop players that are known to use them.

Wow, love his playing and sound. Now I will definitely add Yani tenors to my list next time I buy a horn.

As much as I like my old T4 I think it sounds like the guy in the clip. Not a lot of personality. Dry, without the "ring" that Selmers have.

I'm not sure if he is "well-known", but Mel Martin endorsed and played a Yani tenor for years until he passed.

There are a few big name alto players that play Yani's, but not much on tenor. http://www.yanagisawasax.co.jp/en/artists.html

It'd be interesting to see a list of guys who DON'T play some vintage Selmer or other.

 

[captain blowhard]

It would seem the answer is "no". But maybe you could be the first?

Correction on that post. Ernie plays Keilwerth.
