Designed to emphasize the individuality of the player, the A-WO1 is an ideal entry-level professional alto saxophone. Its single-post-to-body construction provides quicker response with lighter overall weight, resonating more immediately compared to heavier ribbed-construction saxophones.

Proprietary Yanagisawa innovations, such as the Fluororesin-sleeved octave rocker and seesaw linkage between the C# and Bb table keys, ensure precise action and smoother fingering technique.

Packed with Yanagisawa innovations, the A-WO1 offers enhanced performance, precision, and reliability. An adjustable vibration-damping bar stabilizes lower-register note production, while pointed pivot screws and sealed, waterproof pads ensure an accurate fit and extended service life.

Aside from its exceptional performance, the A-WO1 boasts a design as beautiful as it is masterful. With its brass body tubing, hand-engraved bell, concavely shaped mother-of-pearl key touches, and tri-point bell-bow brace, this saxophone exudes elegance and sophistication.

Handcrafted in Japan by the Yanagisawa Wind Instrument Company, the A-WO1 is a testament to the tradition of Japanese artistry and craftsmanship. Whether you're a seasoned professional or an aspiring musician, the Yanagisawa A-WO1 Professional Alto Saxophone is sure to exceed your expectations.

What they Didn't Teach You in Sunday School
Format: Paperback
Often when reading through the Bible, whether one does so for religious reasons or not, we miss details in the background. Or we do not take into consideration cultural context while interpreting passages. Sometimes, due to difficulties in translating ancient languages into modern ones, some things are literally lost in translation. In this volume, where Godawa collects material he has previously published into one volume, he examines many of these issues. In particular, he focuses on topics that have long mystified people and been the subject of much conjecture and fictionalization: Nephilim, Watchers and giants. He also takes a close look at verses that may have had supernatural elements inadvertently scrubbed: The strange ariel creatures in 2 Samuel 23:20 translated instead into men, or the demons and goblins of Isaiah 13:21-22 written off as wild animals, etc. Clues to a different ancient world than usually supposed? The only misstep is his adherence to the John Walton ANE interpretation. This is based on superficial interpretation, and worse history (e.g. the whole ANE "dome" interpretation of creation is largely mythical). Walton's books haves done a huge disservice in undermining biblical inerrancy. See Hugh Ross' Rescuing Inerrancy for more on Walton and others who aren't too good at biblical study. There's a lot of food for thought in these pages. For more, see and .

Great supplement to Bible study
Format: Paperback
Stimulating reading for science-minded and biblically minded readers. The author who wrote this book has a lot to say about some of the strange images we read about in the Bible. Giants, flying reptiles, satyrs, fauns, denizens, angels, demons, etc. Once I read this, I began realizing that much of the strange things we see in the world outside the Bible are about as realistic as some of these images mentioned in the Bible. The battle between our minds and our souls carries on.

Informational but not what I expected.
Format: Paperback
The facts as they relate to the bible and some other scripts are good, but it would have been better if they were backed up with scientific facts and Egyptian findings. This would have given a broader and more open-minded big picture. I was disappointed overall.

My brain needed this book.
Format: Paperback
What a refreshing cup of water to a thirsty mind! I'm so glad I stumbled across this book and this author, Brian Godawa. I was beginning to think I was the only person on earth who had questions about traditional Christianity versus ancient cultures as well as other mysteries on our earth, and this book has made some links and clarifications on some fascinating subjects that aren't dealt with much in the modern church. It didn't matter that this book is a compilation of appendices based on his research for one of his fiction series. It read, easily, as a non-fiction book and I appreciated how the author used facts based off of biblical and other ancient documents in a rather logical way, with limited conjecture and emotion. I tried absorbing the information in this book as quickly as possible, and already have admired and desired the author's other utterly fascinating book offers. Thank you, Mr. Godawa, for your seeming unrelentless pursuit of truth! I stand with you.
