Traditional Tone with New Depth
Since its release in 2015, the Yamaha YHR-871 has become known as a benchmark among traditional Geyer style horns. Now the YHR-871 II inherits the extraordinary sound and playability of its predecessor with refinements born out of the development of later models.
Close communication with some of the world’s top players plus repeated prototype evaluations have resulted in warmer, more expansive tone that gives artists unprecedented expressive potential.
Features
Wrap Style and Bell
An orthodox Geyer style wrap is used with a medium size bell and relatively thick rim wire. The tone is rich and deep with a solid core.
Leadpipe
A new leadpipe design in gold brass contributes to consistent tone and resistance throughout the instrument’s range.
One-piece Mouthpiece Receiver
The machined one-piece mouthpiece receiver on the YHR-871 II has higher rigidity than conventional types for superior sound transmission. To the player that means notably improved response and a clear sound with impressive presence.
Solid 4th Rotor
The adoption of a solid 4th rotor results in ideal resistance as well as deeper, richer tone. The shape of the rotor has also been modified to reduce the slight breath noise that can occur when switching between the F side and Bb side, allowing the player to concentrate more fully on the music.
Slide and Valve Casing
The inner tubes of all tuning slides are made of gold brass to emphasize the horn’s tonal clarity and depth. The main tuning slide also has a rounded shape that provides ideal blowing resistance for this class of instrument. The valve casing is made of Nickel silver for enhanced response and durability.
Adjustable 4th Thumb Lever and Pinky Hook
The 4th thumb lever and pinky hook can be adjusted for the most comfortable playing position.
Long Pull Ring
The Bb 2nd valve slide features a long pull ring that adds to the instrument’s playing convenience.
Valve Caps and Bell Screw
Engraved brass valve caps and Nickel silver at the bell screw enhance appearance, adding visual sophistication that is on a par with high-end models.
