Yamaha YBL-830 XENO Bass Trombone
Yamaha combined the knowledge they learned in creating the Xeno tenor trombones with feedback from some of the world's great bass trombonists. The results speak for themselves; a state-of-the-art bass trombone with all specifications redesigned by an elite team of Yamaha designers and R&D experts. The 830 model includes features such as the newly designed yellow brass bell with a thinner wall for enhanced response, nickel silver slide crook for more substance to the sound, and a new rotor design which improves playability.
New Bell Design
New bell design uses a thinner yellow-brass material to provide quicker response.
Modified Slide Braces
Modified slide braces pick up design elements from the successful Xeno tenor trombone series, creating more flexibility and responsiveness.
New Slide Crook Material
Nickel-silver slide crook material creates a more open feel.
New Rotor Design
New rotor spin direction provides a smoother airflow to the second rotor assembly.
Adjustable Thumb Paddle
Adjustable thumb paddle provides an ergonomic grip.
Newly Designed Case
A new ABS Xeno-type case features a compact and contoured shape, with shoulder strap and side handle.
