Developed with two of the world's finest trombone players, the Yamaha YSL-891Z Custom Tenor Trombone was developed with Wycliffe Gordon and Andy Martin. The YSL-891Z Tenor Trombone comes with 2 interchangeable leadpipes: the NY leadpipe and LA leadpipe, which are developed with Wycliffe Gordon and Andy Martin respectively.
The new balancer found on the Yamaha YSL-891Z Trombone perfectly proportions the instrument's weight. The chrome-plated nickel-silver drawn inner slide is very durable and has a quick, sensitive response. 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. 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.
Hand-lapping slides ensures an absolutely perfect fit and seal between the slide parts. Such a perfect fit helps to achieve smooth air flow and smooth action and improve the response and intonation of the instrument. Perfectly rounded tubing results in less turbulence and a smoother air flow, thus allowing for an excellent scale and reduced resistance.
A high-energy laser fuses the brass together for a virtually seamless bell which allows continuous even vibrations. The unique slide lock design on all Yamaha trombones keeps the slide locked in place and keeps it from accidentally falling. The large, easy-to-hold nickel silver bracing guards against possible slide damage if the instrument is dropped and also lessens fatigue while playing.
