Yamaha YBL-822G Xeno Series Bass Trombone Standard

The Yamaha YBL-822G Xeno Series Bass Trombone provides professional bass trombonists with an instrument designed to meet their demanding performance needs. The YBL-822G features a 9.5" gold brass bell that produces a warm yet focused tone across all volume levels. Its large 0.563" bore allows for a free-blowing response, while the dependent F and D attachments give you an extended low range when needed. For enhanced versatility, the D slide section is detachable, allowing you to play without it when extra brightness and quicker response are desired.

Detachable D Slide Provides Versatility

The YBL-822G's D slide attachment can be removed without tools, giving you flexibility in your playing. With the D slide attached, you have access to an extended low range for symphonic pieces. Remove the D slide and you retain a focused bass trombone sound with added brightness and faster response—ideal for solo or commercial work. A secondary tuning slide is included to adjust intonation after detaching the D slide.

9.5" Gold Brass Bell Delivers a Refined Tone

At the heart of the YBL-822G's sound is a 9.5" gold brass bell. Gold brass provides a balance of the warmth of rose brass and the clarity of yellow brass, producing a refined tone across the instrument's range. From pianissimo to fortissimo, the gold brass bell responds with control and subtlety, allowing you to shape your sound with nuance.

Dependent Valve System Extends Your Low Range

The YBL-822G comes equipped with dependent F and D attachments, giving you a complete set of low chromatic notes. The F and D valves are offset and have a compact, contoured shape for an ergonomic feel. With a quick slide of your thumb, you can instantly access the extended low tones these attachments provide.

Premium Construction for Lasting Quality

Like all instruments in Yamaha's Xeno series, the YBL-822G is carefully crafted from premium materials to the highest standards. It features a lacquer finish, chrome nickel silver slides and drawn brass outer slides. The rotors are hand-lapped for a smooth action and minimal leakage. With proper care and maintenance, the YBL-822G will provide decades of performance.
