Yamaha YBL421GE Bass Trombone

Yamaha's Intermediate model bass trombone features many of the qualities of our top pro models, yet is available at a surprisingly affordable price. It has the same bell and bore size as most pro models, and the bell is gold-brass for a sound both rich and full. Features Inner slideThe chrome-plated, nickel-silver, drawn inner slide is very durable and has a quick, sensitive response. Outer slideThe one-piece, drawn, yellow brass outer slide maintains an accurate diameter throughout its length. This type of construction ensures airtightness, smooth action, and exceptional durability and offers improved response. Inner slide stockingsSpecially 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 bracesLong-lasting, nickel-silver tubular braces contribute to the stability of the slide and enhance smooth slide action. Pressure formed tubingPerfectly rounded tubing results in less turbulence and a smoother air flow, thus allowing for an excellent scale and reduced resistance. Laser-fused pluzuma welded bellA high-energy laser fuses the brass together for a virtually seamless bell which allows continuous even vibrations. Slide lockThe unique slide lock design on all Yamaha trombones keeps the slide locked in place and keeps it from accidentally falling. BracingThe large, easy-to-hold, nickel-silver bracing guards against possible slide damage if the instrument is dropped and also lessens fatigue while playing. MouthpipeYamaha trombones have mouthpipes featuring special acoustic designs allowing for precise intonation and greater blowing control. Semi-open wrapThe YBL-421G features a semi-open wrap that allows for an open sound and smooth air flow.
