Yamaha YEP842S Neo Custom Series Euphonium Overview

The Yamaha YEP842S Neo Custom Series Euphonium is Yamaha's flagship euphonium. The entire instrument has been re-thought and re-designed, fusing traditional brass instrument-making techniques with cutting-edge technologies. By consulting with professional players throughout the research and development process, Yamaha have built a euphonium with a crisp, dark tone and breath-taking projection. The silver-plate finish adds subtle nuances to the timbre of the instrument, and the gold-plated trim sets the YEP-842S apart as a truly premium euphonium.

Effortless playability has been achieved by improving player comfort and increasing the responsiveness of the instrument. A large bell diameter and bore size offer a huge dynamic range, which gives the euphonium excellent versatility, whilst easy access to the upper range has been achieved by overhauling the leadpipe design - ensuring that this instrument will excel in both solo work and ensemble playing. For a truly professional euphonium experience, the YEP-842S is the only choice.

Custom euphonium series

Yamaha's Custom series of euphoniums represent the absolute finest quality of craftsmanship on offer from the Japanese brass experts. Consultations with leading euphonium players uncovered the importance of the upper registers in the modern euphonium repertoire, as well as a desire for more expressive capabilities throughout the dynamic range. These aims were constantly considered throughout the design and testing process, eventually resulting in a euphonium with a true focus on expression and playability.

New features

Design innovations include an overhaul of the main tubing shape and an entirely new leadpipe design, giving an immediate, faultless response. Ergonomic improvements have been made to the shape and positioning of the hand rest, allowing for longer, more comfortable playing sessions. The bow guards for the top and bottom bow have also been redesigned, stiffening the body to improve definition and clarity whilst adding to the strength and durability to the instrument.

Hand-lapped valves and slides ensure a perfect seal, improving the valve action as well as the intonation of the instrument. Pressure formed tubing results in a perfectly smooth construction with practically no turbulence. This allows for a perfectly balanced playing resistance, and therefore an excellent response throughout the range of the instrument.

Included accessories

The YEP-842S comes included with a Yamaha EP-53DL mouthpiece, and a euphonium hard-shelled case. This excellent quality mouthpiece offers fantastic precision, with a smooth attack, great control, and a vast, crisp tone. The large cup volume and inner rim diameter offers a dark timbre, perfect for blending with brass ensembles. The case is designed to keep your instrument safe from knocks and scrapes and will ensure your euphonium looks and plays like new for years to come.
