Yanagisawa YANY BooStar Yana/Selmer UL

All'inizio non lo credevo possibile, ma effettivamente il suono riesce ad essere più pieno e proiettato. Segno che la maggiore massa di questa vite riduce la dispersione delle armoniche che con l'originale evidentemente si perdono.
Il prezzo può sembrare alto, ma, a mio parere, mi sembra adeguato. Non è solo da considerare il fatto che sia una specie di "bullone", va messo insieme anche la lega utilizzata e l'ingegno dietro alla realizzazione del prodotto.
Non so quanto possa essere paragonabile a prodotti simili trovati su altre piattaforme di vendita online a prezzi ridicoli, temo sia fuorviante.

To be honest, I needed a silver plated screw for my selmer, and I couldn’t find one at all. It seems like they were all sold out around the world, so I broke down, and I bought this. To be honest, I never really put too much credence into the idea that a single screw around the neck would make any difference, particularly if your neck is fitted properly I’m not sure that it makes a world of difference to the audience, but to me, I could hear a difference. I did a/b this against another selmer screw that was made for the the horn and against another well-known Japanese manufacturer of aftermarket parts. Between the three I did think that the yanigasawa was slightly better. It was also significantly less expensive than the other Japanese aftermarket makers part. So, I am not going to tell people that this is a magical thing, but for me, I could tell the difference. Even though it was slight, it was apparent.
One last thing I would add, I did find a significant difference when you added the different tonal booster components to the screw. That surprised me more than anything. I did, from a practical perspective, like the size of it. It is very easy to clamp the screw down tightly without any issues.

Ich war zunächst skeptisch, ob eine solche Schraube einen klanglichen Unterschied machen kann. Das macht sie kaum und das ist auch gut so.
Wobei sie hilft: Töne sprechen auf meinen Instrumenten leichter an und lassen sich besser trennen. Ich kann dadurch schnelle Tonfolgen sauberer spielen. Die Töne in den hohen Lagen sind etwas runder, weniger spitz und leichter zu kontrollieren.
Braucht man diese Schraube? Nein
Funktioniert sie? Für mich und meine Instrumente: Ja und ich werde sie definitiv behalten.

Der Effekt ist aber auch durch Üben zu erreichen. Als Anfänger holt man z.B. mehr aus einem besseren Mundstück / Blatt heraus, als aus einer solchen Schraube. Sie ersetzt auch das Üben nicht.

Ich habe ein Yanagisawa Alt und ein Tenor. Auf dem Alt ist der Effekt für mich stärker.
