Yamaha YSL640 Professional Bb/F Trombone with Medium-Large Bore - Nearly New

Full Description

Professional 600 Series Trombone

The Yamaha 600 series trombones became popular because of their agility and accurate intonation, making them a fantastic instrument for the discerning performer. With a lovely tonal core, the instrument offers great projection and a sound that is full of character in all dynamic ranges.

Symphonic Sounding Instrument

Although this trombone can be used in all situations due to its versatility, the Yamaha YSL640 produces a symphonic and whole sound that is extremely appropriate in orchestras and wind ensembles. This Bb instrument has a medium-large bore size which gives a mellow and more mysterious tone.

Reliable Mechanisms

Airtight slide construction is guaranteed by the specially designed one-piece inner slide stockings. They offer smoother slide action as well as better alignments (including the extended 6th & 7th positions). To enhance smooth action further and contribute to the stability of the slide Yamaha has used long lasting nickel-silver tubular braces. Perfectly rounded tubing is used to achieve less turbulence and a smoother air flow, as well as enabling an excellent scale and reduced resistance. A high energy laser creates an almost seamless bell by fusing together the brass, enabling continuous even vibrations. All Yamaha trombones have a unique slide lock design which prevents the slide from falling off. The lightweight instrument was designed with players in mind and is so much easier and more comfortable to play.

Quality Materials

The YSL640 is made up of reliable materials perfect for a learner who needs their equipment to last for many years. A good quality instrument is key to learning true skills from the very beginning. Yamaha has used chrome-plated nickel-silver, inner slides to maintain durability and provide players with a quick, sensitive response. The one-piece yellow brass outer slide provides an accurate diameter throughout its length. This type of construction allows airtightness, smooth action, exceptional durability, and improves response and resonance to the sound. This Yamaha model features a yellow brass bell that is capable of achieving dark and mysterious tones. In addition to previous models this one features a large rotor on the F attachment which enables smooth transitions from the Bb to F side with less resistance.

Included Accessories

The YSL640 Trombone comes with a lightweight hard case which is ideal for travelling musicians going to and from rehearsals and gigs. The case will protect the instrument from knocks and scratches - keeping it looking, feeling and sounding like new for longer. Also included in this pack is a Yamaha 48L small shank mouthpiece suitable for generic trombone playing. The mouthpiece is a Yamaha special acoustic design which allows for precise intonation and better blowing control.
