Product code: YFH8310Z | ID: 222443
Professional Bb flugelhorn from Custom Z series that combines the tonal richness and depth of character of the older traditional flugels with the easy playability and superb intonation made possible by high-tech engineering. Inspired by legendary artist Bobby Shew, this model features the perfect amount of air resistance to allow the player to colour the sound exactly the way he wants to. A special 'Bobby Shew' signature mouthpiece is included which perfectly balances and complements the Z. The newly designed third valve slide trigger is more ergonomic and will accommodate a wider range of hand sizes. The instrument also features a newly designed yellow brass leadpipe, outer leadpipe area and a new connection brace between the leadpipe and the valve casing. The top and bottom valve caps match the Yamaha Bobby Shew Custom Bb trumpet. The flugelhorn further features traditional, vertical valve tubing and Monel pistons that 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 ensure an absolutely perfect fit and seal between the pistons and casing or slide parts. Such a perfect fit helps to achieve smooth air flow and smooth action and improve the response and intonation of the instrument. Bore: 10.5 mm. Bell diameter: 152.4 mm. Clear Lacquer finish.
