Yamaha YFH-631GS Bb Flugelhorn with Gold Brass Bell and Silver Plated Finish from Chappell Of Bond Street

Flugelhorns have a soft, mellow, dark sound with beautiful lyrical qualities; they are especially favored for jazz ballads. Yamaha Flugelhorns have overcome the inconsistencies of intonation traditionally associated with these instruments, and offer a very comfortable response. The YFH-631G offers the traditional Yamaha flugelhorn style with a free blowing response. It features triggers on the third valve slide for fine intonation adjustments. • Bb flugelhorn • Gold-brass bell • Bell: 151.8mm (6") • MS bore: 11mm (0.433") • 3rd valve slide trigger • Finish: clear lacquer • Mouthpiece: 11F4 Monel pistons Monel pistons are resistant to corrosion and are an ideal choice for professional flugelhorn pistons which must retain precise fit and smooth action over many years. Hand-lapped pistons and slides Hand-lapped pistons and slides ensures an absolutely perfect fit and seal between the pistons and casing or slide parts. Such a perfect fit helps achieve smooth air flow and smooth action and improve the response and intonation of the instrument. Movable mouthpiece receiver Tuning is made easier with the movable mouthpiece receiver. Pressure formed tubing Perfectly rounded tubing results in less turbulence and a smoother airflow, thus allowing for an excellent scale and reduced resistance. Laser-fused pluzuma welded bell A high-energy laser fuses the brass together for a virtually seamless bell which allows continuous even vibrations.
