Warren Wiegratz, Yanagisawa A-9930

Leader of Milwaukee’s “Streetlife,” Warren Wiegratz ranks among the Midwest’s most sought-after saxophonists, composers and recording artists. He’s appeared with everyone from Phil Collins to the Milwaukee Symphony, and his unaccompanied Star Spangled Banner, performed at sporting events nationwide, has received wide acclaim. The use of solid sterling silver makes the Yanagisawa A-9930 equally well suited to the expressive demands of either classical or jazz playing. The A-9930’s sterling neckpipe and body create a remarkably clear sound with no excessive stridency or edginess, while its traditional brass bell adds a slightly warmer character to the tonal shading than the silver-bell models.
