Yamaha's Professional Bass Trombones are among some of the finest on the planet, and Yamaha's 'top-down' approach to designing their instrument line-up makes this intermediate Yamaha Bass Trombone (YBL-421GE) better than some other manufacturers' pro trombones. The standard 'Yamaha' playability, dynamic range, intonation, slide action- All good. This trombone has only one trigger, so it's light in weight, heavy on sound- a good combination for the student or school. The sound out of these instruments is well-suited to many styles also. It's one of the few instruments that won't be out of place in the big band, orchestra, or brass band. -DW

Features:
1) Inner Slide
The chrome-plated, nickel-silver, drawn inner slide is very durable and has a quick, sensitive response.
2) Outer Slide
The one-piece, drawn, yellow brass outer slide maintains an accurate diameter throughout its length. This type of construction ensures airtightness, smooth action, and exceptional durability and offers an improved response.
3) Inner Slide Stockings
Specially designed, one-piece, inner slide stockings guarantee airtight slide construction, and offer smoother slide action and better alignment, even in the extended 6th and 7th positions.
4) Tubular Braces
Long-lasting, nickel-silver tubular braces contribute to the stability of the slide and enhance smooth slide action.
5) Pressure Formed Tubing
Perfectly rounded tubing results in less turbulence and a smoother airflow, thus allowing for an excellent scale and reduced resistance.
6) Laser-Fused Pluzuma Welded Bell
A high-energy laser fuses the brass together for a virtually seamless bell which allows continuous even vibrations.
7) Slide Lock
The unique slide lock design on all Yamaha trombones keeps the slide locked in place and keeps it from accidentally falling.
8) Bracing
The large, easy-to-hold, nickel-silver bracing guards against possible slide damage if the instrument is dropped and also lessens fatigue while playing.
9) Mouthpipe
Yamaha trombones have mouthpipes featuring special acoustic designs allowing for precise intonation and greater blowing control.
10) Semi-Open Wrap
The YBL-421G features a semi-open wrap that allows for an open sound and smooth airflow.
