DISC Yamaha YSL882O Ltd. Edition Xeno 20th Anniversary Bb/F Trombone

Full Description

Xeno 20th Anniversary

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of their Xeno trombone series, Yamaha has introduced the limited edition YSL882O model, including a combination of old favoured features with new unique specifications. Initially introduced back in 1995, this series draws together a map of craftsmanship involving outstanding instrument design and advanced technology, as well as the experience, talent and dreams of honoured artists from all over the world. The trombones in this series inspire players with their incredible power and projection. Together with their redefined resistance and response these trombones have great tonal flexibility. Xeno's long and illustrious history has enabled this model to provide gentle maturity and warm, charismatic tones all in one trombone.

High Quality Materials and Reliable Fittings

Being of such exceptional value to its players, the YSL882O combines some of the most popular features from the Xeno series so far, with some new unique specifications to give it a limited edition quality. The standard tuning slide has been replaced with a much more attractive gold brass one. The cap on this model is the same as the rotary valve cap featured on the YBL-822G, producing a rich resonance but with a slightly different edge than the standard Xeno model. Additional refinement is a result of optimized resistance adds which are included with this limited edition special. The YSL882O Trombone features a wider hand slide with a nickel silver crook that yields a solid and powerful tone. The bell features a stunning 'Xeno 20th Anniversary' engraving, capable of producing warm tones and exceptional projection. This design is made up of some of Yamaha's highest quality materials and features reliable, durable fittings that will last for years to come.

One Piece Hand Hammered Bell

The one piece bell featured on this YSL-882O trombone helps the instrument to achieve a pure, and dominant tone. The bell has an axial seam that makes it a continuous addition of the instruments material allowing for these superior tones.

Larger Bell

The larger bell has been developed to perform a singing, colourful, open sound that also projects a solid core.

Narrow Slide

Thanks to the narrow slide this trombone is able to produce a quicker sliding technique that will allow its player to manage the horn easier than they could previously.

Rounded Slide Crook

By excluding sharp turns in the crook the feel and response of the instrument will be opened.

Slide Lock

The YSL-882O features one of Yamaha's unique slide lock designs that helps to keep the lock in place whilst also stopping it from falling off.

Pressure-Formed Tubing

Yamaha have positioned perfectly rounded tubing on the instrument to help lessen turbulence and to create a smoother airflow.

Sullivan Mouthpiece + 20th Anniversary Xeno Trombone Case

The YSL882O Trombone comes with a Sullivan mouthpiece, capable of producing smooth sounds with tonal depth. Also included with this model is a 20th anniversary Xeno trombone case. The case comes in a two-tone ivory and brown colour with brown lining, and provides exception protection for this sentimental master piece.
