Yamaha YHR-871GD Custom Series Double Horn, Detachable Gold Brass Bell

Description

This full double horn features a traditional Geyer-style wrap with a medium size bell and thicker rim wire. The tone is rich and deep with a solid core. A new gold brass leadpipe design contributes to consistent tone and playing feel throughout the instrument’s range. This model features a .476" bore.

The inner tubes of all slides are made of gold brass to enhance the horn’s tonal clarity and depth. The main tuning slide also has a rounded shape that provides ideal resistance for this class of instrument. The valve casing is made of Nickel silver for improved response and durability, and a hollow 4th rotor makes notable contributions to response and tone. The 4th valve trigger and pinky hook can be adjusted to the player´s comfort and the Bb 2nd valve slide features a long pull ring for added convenience.

Engraved brass valve caps and a nickel silver bell screw enhance response, providing cleaner articulation and a well-defined core.
