Yamaha combined the knowledge they learned in creating the Xeno tenor trombones with feedback from some of the world's great bass trombonists. The results speak for themselves; a state-of-the-art bass trombone with all specifications redesigned by the team of Yamaha designers and R&D experts.
The YBL-835 replaces the YBL830 and has evolved to deliver the power and performance that modern music demands. It has an open playing feel and produces rich, authoritative tone that responds ideally to player control.
Furthermore, This instrument is also the first Yamaha custom bass trombone to feature a detachable hand rest for significantly improved operation. Previous models included an internal protrusion in the slide receiver that was designed to provide optimum playing resistance and consistent tone. The YBL-835 does away with this design element, making it possible to deliver higher volume, powerful sound, and generally enhanced playing response.
The depth at which the mouthpiece fits into the receiver has been reduced slightly, giving the mouthpiece more freedom to resonate. The result is a more flexible playing feel and easier control.
The YBL-835 has been refined to deliver world-class tone and playability in performance situations ranging from solo to orchestral.
