Overview

Top-of-the-line professional tenor trombone, great for jazz.

The Yamaha YSL-891 trombone was developed with two of the world’s finest trombone players, Wycliffe Gordon and Andy Martin. It comes with 2 interchangeable leadpipes: the NY leadpipe is longer and was developed with Wycliffe Gordon, while the LA leadpipe is shorter and was developed with Andy Martin.

The new balancer found on the YSL-891Z perfectly proportions the instrument’s weight and makes for easier playing. It features a chrome-plated nickel silver, one-piece drawn inner slide that is very durable and has a quick, sensitive response. The one-piece, drawn, brass outer slide maintains an accurate diameter throughout its length, a type of construction that ensures airtightness, smooth action, and exceptional durability. The outer slide is fit with extremely close tolerances making the horn respond quickly and effortlessly.

The YSL-891Z’ one-piece bell has an axial (lengthwise) seam, making it a continuous extension of the instrument’s material. This results in pure, uniform resonance and superior tone. A hammered yellow brass bell produces a pure and perfectly balanced tone with quick response and extra presence due to advanced manufacturing techniques.

Hand-lapped tuning slides ensure an absolutely perfect fit and seal between the slide parts. Such a perfect fit helps to achieve smooth airflow and smooth action and improve the response and intonation of the instrument. A pressure forming process in making the tubing results in perfectly rounded tubing that makes for less turbulence and a smoother airflow, thus allowing for an excellent scale and reduced resistance. The YSL-891′ laser-fused pluzuma welded bell is virtually seamless, and allows continuous even vibrations.

The unique slide lock design on all Yamaha trombones keeps the slide locked in place and keeps it from accidentally falling, and the large, easy-to-hold nickel silver bracing guards against possible slide damage if the instrument is dropped and also lessens fatigue while playing.
