Every facet of the Yamaha \'NEO\' Alto / Tenor Horn (YAH-803S) has been considered, revised and refined to perfection. And you’ll hear the difference. New levels of power and projection combine with a warmth and depth that will send repercussions through the brass community and bring horn players to their rightful place at the heart of the band.
Over her 15-year career, Sheona White has probably done more to popularise the Tenor Horn than any other exponent. Now, the BBC Radio 2 Young Musician of the Year 1996 has her sights set on a potentially longer-lasting legacy. Her partnership with Yamaha has resulted in a radical re-think of horn design.

Bell

The two-piece yellow brass bell features a larger diameter to deliver a wider dynamic range.

First Branch Taper

The first branch features a new design that offers improved pitch and greater tone colour. The main tuning slide is designed with a new taper and wider bow that produces greater tone colour, a freer feel, more accurate pitch, and greater dynamic range.

Valve

A heavier valve casing design produces a richer, more authoritative tone.

Mouthpiece Receiver & Brace

The mouthpiece receiver and brace design produces a moderate amount of resistance and thicker sound when playing, delivering greater projection and expressiveness.

Case

Hard case AHC-803 with strap.
