YAMAHA YBH-831S Bb Baritone Horn

YAMAHA Bb Baritone Horn YBH-831S silverplated, with case

The YBH-831S is Yamaha's first baritone horn equipped with a piston system consisting of 3 valves. It exemplifies Yamaha's advanced and innovative technology, developed in collaboration with top artists worldwide. While retaining all the characteristics of a traditional baritone horn, it introduces subtle yet significant improvements, making it a revolutionary brass instrument.

Piston System

The upgraded piston system, consisting of 3 valves, innovates the traditional configuration used in typical baritone horns. It provides enhanced tonal possibilities in various registers. The instrument features seamless and smooth airflow during valve operation, ensuring accuracy in the mid and low-frequency ranges. The YBH-831S is a remarkable instrument offering exceptional playing comfort.

Original Conical Design and Enlarged Bell

The original conical tubing design and enlarged bell contribute to the clarity of sound and a deeper, baritone timbre that stands out in powerful tutti passages.

New Adjustment System

The redesigned main tubing offers excellent airflow and natural resistance. In the YBH-831S model, the main tubing is not soldered to the bell, ensuring a full tone and natural resonance.

Improved Playing Comfort

Narrower valves and a special support aligned parallel to the pistons ensure a natural and more comfortable hand position. Smooth and fast piston action combined with an improved hand angle allows for easier and more fluid operation of the instrument.

Case

The case included with the Neo baritone horn features a personalized nameplate and a shoulder strap for convenient transport.
