Yamaha YSL-882 Xeno Custom Series Bb/F Trombone with Large Bore Overview

The Yamaha YSL-882 Xeno Custom Series Trombone, Large Bore is specifically designed as an orchestral style tenor trombone. With a thick-walled, meticulously hand-hammered, single-piece bell, this instrument can open up with a colossal sound, punching through a full orchestra to deliver rousing lines. The heavy gauge and wide bore size give the trombone access to a huge dynamic range, with powerful projection at fortissimo volumes and subtle control during delicate passages.

Yamaha Xeno model trombones have incredible evenness and balance, giving a flexible tone to the experienced player. The effortlessly smooth slide response gives unparalleled playability for easy traversal of quick passages, and the included Yamaha mouthpiece gives an excellent response throughout all registers with a warm, rich tone. Designed for the professional musician, Yamaha think this is the most expressive orchestral style trombone they have ever created.

Xeno series

The Yamaha Xeno series of tenor trombones are built for use in high-level orchestras, making them perfect for pro players or advanced students. Drawing on masses of experience in the production of brass instruments, Yamaha are able to construct perfectly rounded tubing for the smoothest possible airflow through the instrument, making the trombone incredibly easy blowing.

Their precision engineering also allows for effortless slide action, which massively increases the playability of the trombone. By hand-hammering out a single piece of brazed brass thousands of times, Yamaha's craftsmen can create a flawless one-piece bell, giving the trombone a rich tonal colour with effortless projection. From start to finish, this trombone was designed and built with professional players in mind.

Rotary F-trigger

The YSL-882 comes equipped with a hand-lapped rotary valve, attaching to an F-loop. The airtight, light action of the valve allows for quick and smooth valve switching, allowing you to easily change the fundamental down a major fourth. This gives the instrument access to a lower register, as well as alternate positions for many notes, which allows for easier traversal of quick passages.

Included extras

The YSL-882 comes included with a professional, orchestral-standard Yamaha L51C4 mouthpiece. This mouthpiece is designed for an excellent response through all registers, and a tone which is full, robust, and warm. Also included is a professional-quality Yamaha SLC-88U hard carry case. This sturdy construction is designed to protect your instrument from bangs and scrapes, keeping it looking, feeling, and sounding like new for much longer.
