The Custom YHR-871D is the newest model in Yamaha's traditional Geyer style horn series, which delivers exceptional clarity as well as deep, rich resonance.

Wrap Style and Bell

An orthodox Geyer style wrap is used with a medium size bell and relatively thick rim wire. The tone is rich and deep with a solid core.

Leadpipe

A new leadpipe design in gold brass contributes to consistent tone and resistance throughout the instrument’s range.

Bore Size

This model features a 12.1 millimeter bore size that maximizes its performance potential.

Slide and Valve Casing

The inner tubes of all tuning slides are made of gold brass to emphasize the horn’s tonal clarity and depth. The main tuning slide also has a rounded shape that provides ideal blowing resistance for this class of instrument. The valve casing is made of Nickel silver for enhanced response and durability.

4th Rotor

A hollow rotor makes notable contributions to response and tone.

Adjustable 4th Thumb Lever and Pinky Hook

The 4th thumb lever and pinky hook can be adjusted for the most comfortable playing position.

Long Pull Ring

The Bb 2nd valve slide features a long pull ring that adds to the instrument’s playing convenience.

Valve Caps and Bell Screw

Engraved brass valve caps and Nickel silver at the bell screw enhance appearance, adding visual sophistication that is on a par with high-end models.
