Yamaha \'NEO\' Alto / Tenor Horn (YAH-803S) has 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.
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.
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.
