Yamaha YSL891Z Professional Trombone

Designed by Andy Martin and Wycliffe Gordon, this Custom Z Trombone provides supreme tonal flexibility for the serious jazz trombonist. Comes with 2 interchangeable leadpipes. The NY leadpipe is longer and was developed with Wycliffe Gordon while the LA leadpipe is shorter and was developed with Andy Martin.

NY Type (NY leadpipe)

With a broad taper and a little extra length, this leadpipe passes plenty of breath for fortissimo passages and powerful performances. It features a soft, deep tone that easily fills large concert halls or outdoor spaces.

LA Type (LA leadpipe)

This leadpipe has a gentler taper and is a little shorter than the NY type, providing quick response and easy tonal control. With a focused, bright tone, the LA leadpipe can help to deliver well-defined tone in studio and live-house performance situations.

Balancer

The new balancer found on the YSL891Z perfectly proportions the instrument's weight.

Inner Slide

The chrome-plated nickel-silver drawn inner slide is very durable and has a quick, sensitive response. In addition, it is one-piece drawn slide.

Outer Slide

The one-piece, drawn, brass outer slide maintains an accurate diameter throughout its length, and this type of construction ensures airtightness, smooth action, and exceptional durability. The outer slide is fit with extremely close tolerances making the horn respond quickly and effortlessly.

One-piece bell

A one-piece bell has an axial (lengthwise) seam, making it a continuous extension of the instrument's material. This results in pure, uniform resonance and superior tone. A hammered yellow brass bell produces a pure and perfectly-balanced tone with a quick response and extra presence due to advanced manufacturing techniques.

*The detachable bell on the YSL 891ZD is similar to the YSL 891Z one piece bell, but separates at the base of the flare.
