Though piccolo trumpets are primarily used to play the exciting yet demanding 1st trumpet parts in Baroque literature, modern composers have also begun to incorporate them in contemporary' and even popular-music. Yamaha's YTR-9830 piccolo trumpet is easy to play, has a beautiful tone and has excellent intonation. It can be converted to either Bb or A by changing the leadpipes provided. A fourth valve adds an extended range. • Bell Material: Yellow-brass • Bell: 101mm (4") • M bore: 11.3mm (0.445") • Finish: Silver-plate • Mouthpiece: 14A4a • Includes leadpipes for Bb or A Hand-hammered one-piece bell A one-piece bell has an axial (lengthwise) seam, making it a continuous extension of the instrument's material. This results in pure, uniform resonance and superior tone. A hammered yellow brass bell produces a perfectly-balanced tone with quick response and extra presence due to advanced manufacturing. Hand-lapped pistons and slides Hand-lapping pistons and slides ensures an absolutely perfect fit and seal between the pistons and casing or slide parts. Such a perfect fit helps to achieve smooth air flow and smooth action and improve the response and intonation of the instrument. Pressure formed tubing Perfectly rounded tubing results in less turbulence and a smoother air flow, thus allowing for an excellent scale and reduced resistance. Laser-fused pluzuma welded bell A high-energy laser fuses the brass together for a virtually seamless bell which allows continuous, even vibrations. One-piece drawn gold brass leadpipe This type of leadpipe offers excellent intonation, response and proper resistance.

Yamaha's YSL-354V features the same high-quality build of the standard YSL-354 but features piston valves rather than a slide - ideal for players not familiar with slide positions.• Yellow-brass bell: 204.4mm (8") • Bore: 12.7mm (0.500") • Lacquer finish • Mouthpiece: 48Tubular Braces Long-lasting nickel-silver tubular braces contribute to the stability of the slide.Balancer The balancer found on the YSL-354V perfectly proportions the instrument's weight.Pressure formed tubing Perfectly rounded tubing results in less turbulence and a smoother air flow, thus allowing for an excellent scale and reduced resistance. Laser-fused pluzuma welded bell A high-energy laser fuses the brass together for a virtually seamless bell which allows continuous even vibrations. Weight distribution The YSL-354V is more comfortable to play because its superb weight distribution makes it easier to hold. Bracing The large, easy-to-hold, nickel-silver bracing guards against possible slide damage if the instrument is dropped. It also lessens fatigue while playing. Mouthpipe Yamaha trombones have mouthpipes featuring special acoustic designs allowing for precise intonation and greater blowing control.

Standard Series Medium-weight C trumpet Yellow-brass bell Bell: 123mm (4-7/8") ML bore: 11.65mm (0.459 ") Finish: Gold lacquer Mouthpiece: 11B4 Yamaha's YTR-2435 offers a high quality pro-style C trumpet for a student model price. It features many of the qualities of their top-of-the-line models, like medium weight tubing, pro bore and bell size for increased tonal core and a comfortable, efficient response.

Custom Series Heavyweight C rotary trumpet 1-piece Gold-brass bell Bell: 130mm (5-1/8") Bore: 11.24mm (0.442") 3rd varve slide trigger Finish: Silver Plated Mouthpiece: 15E4 Developed with some of Germany's leading orchestral players, the YTR-946 can be found in many of the world's top orchestras. In fact, it has been so effective in giving a more traditional tone colour to 'Germanic' style music, that many conductors have begun specifically requesting 'Yamaha Rotaries'. It features a tone which is dark and full-with plenty of orchestral power-yet can blend well with other brass and woodwinds. Intonation is accurate and it is surprisingly easy to play.

Yamaha's handmade YHR-882 descant horn is meticulously crafted to perfection by their experienced artisans. It offers the assured attack and control of a descant horn, yet is capable of producing the big, full sound of an orchestral horn. The YHR-882 features accurate pitch, an even response and enough tonal flexibility to play anything from Baroque solos to full-bore Romantic compositions. Yamaha's patented 'long rotor' valve, along with an ingenious tubing configuration makes it comfortable to hold and play. The YHR-882 is a Bb/high F double descant horn with an A+ stop valve and an F Natural valve for an extended range. • Articulated key levers • Phosphor bronze rotors • Tapered valves • Secure note centres • Accurate pitch • Even response Hammered and annealed bell Hammering and annealing are processes so important to the instrument's acoustic characteristics that Yamaha employs computer-controlled equipment to ensure consistently superior sound. Hammering enables bells to have a rich, resonant tone that blends beautifully with other instruments. Annealing is a cooling and heating process that makes it easier to control the acoustics of the instrument. Cyclical Bore A cyclical bore is a perfectly cylindrical tubing assembly in combination with a conical leadpipe and bell system. This allows for consistent air flow throughout the horn. Tonal clarity and flexibility The tonal clarity and flexibility of the YHR-882 makes it ideal for baroque music, chamber music, and orchestral music because it overcomes the low-range difficulties typical of descant horns by additionally serving as a single Bb horn. Long rotor valve The innovative thumb valve configuration on the YHR-882 replaces linked valves, thereby reducing friction, promoting faster response, producing exquisite sound, and improving hand comfort. Excellent sound in all registers The combination of the secure high register and quick attack of the descant horn with the rich, warm timbre of the single Bb horn make the double descant horn ideal for many playing situations.

Yamaha's 400 Series YSL-445GE trombone features a beautifully rich tone, a balanced response and perfect mechanics. Boasting a bore and bell size the same as those on professional models, the YSL-445GE also features a hand-crafted assembly normally found only on top-of-the-line trombones. The YSL-445GE is made of top-grade gold brass for a warm, rich sound and offers incredibly accurate intonation and smooth quick slide action.

Outer slide The one-piece, drawn, yellow brass outer slide maintains an accurate diameter throughout its length, and this type of construction ensures air-tightness, smooth action, exceptional durability, and offers improved response and resonance to the sound. Inner slide stockings Specially designed one-piece inner slide stockings guarantee airtight slide construction, and offer smoother slide action and better alignment, even in the extended 6th and 7th positions. Tubular braces Long-lasting nickel-silver tubular braces contribute to the stability of the slide and enhance smooth slide action. Balancer The balancer found on the YSL-445GE perfectly proportions the instrument's weight. Upgraded bell materials A gold brass bell provides rich sound and flexible response usually reserved for professional models. Pressure-formed tubing Perfectly rounded tubing results in less turbulence and a smoother air flow, thus allowing for an excellent scale and reduced resistance.
