Innovative design for better playability and fuller tone.
The new Generation II Yamaha YFH-8315IIG series Bb flugelhorn has been developed with the invaluable direction from Wayne Bergeron, resulting in an innovative model that takes flugelhorn tone and playability to a new level. This Custom series flugelhorn combines a newly designed valve casing and a new heavy, phosphor bronze leadpipe screw with a two-piece gold brass bell. The longer Malone Pipe with a nickel-silver outer tube with a tapered section between the leadpipe and valve casing creates a tone that is full and present with rich harmonics in all registers. The 8315IIG series offers exceptional results in a broad range of musical styles in any performance situation.
