Yamaha Custom Z Series YSL-891Z Professional Tenor Trombone with Interchangeable Leadpipes - Gold Lacquer with Yellow Brass Bell

INTERCHANGEABLE LEADPIPES
The YSL-891Z comes with 2 interchangeable leadpipes. The NY Type (NY leadpipe) has a broad taper and a little extra length, to pass plenty of breath for fortissimo passages and powerful performances. It features a soft, deep tone that easily fills large concert halls or outdoor spaces. The LA Type (LA leadpipe) has a gentler taper and is a little shorter than the NY type, providing quick response and easy tonal control. With a focused, bright tone, the LA leadpipe can help to deliver well-defined tone in studio and live-house performance situations.

BALANCER
The one-piece, drawn, brass outer slide maintains an accurate diameter throughout its length, and this type of construction ensures airtightness, smooth action, and exceptional durability. The outer slide is fit with extremely close tolerances making the horn respond quickly and effortlessly.

INNER SLIDE
The chrome-plated nickel-silver drawn inner slide is very durable and has a quick, sensitive response.

One-piece Bell
A one-piece bell has an axial (lengthwise) seam, making it a continuous extension of the instrument's material. This results in pure, uniform resonance and superior tone. A hammered yellow brass bell produces a pure and perfectly-balanced tone with quick response and extra presence due to advanced manufacturing techniques.
