Features
- Hand-lapped rotary valves and slides
Rotary valves and slides that have been hand-lapped are airtight and have smooth action. - Articulated key levers
Articulated key levers have responsive motion. - Hammered and annealed bell
Hammering and annealing are processes so important to the instrument's acoustic characteristics that Yamaha employs computer-controlled equipment to ensure consistently superior sound. Hammering enables bells to have a rich, resonant tone that blends beautifully with other instruments. Annealing is a cooling and heating process that makes it easier to control the acoustics of the instrument. - Cyclical bore
A cyclical bore is a perfectly cylindrical tubing assembly in combination with a conical leadpipe and bell system. This allows for consistent air flow throughout the horn. - Tapered valves
Tapered valves wear for a long time without air leakage.
- Excellent sound in all registers
The combination of the secure high register, strong projection, and quick attack of the Bb horn with the rich, warm timbre of the F horn make the double horn ideal for most playing situations. - Strong sound
- Deep, warm tone colors
- Secure note centers
- Impeccable intonation
