Introducing the Yamaha YSL-891Z Professional Trombone - Clear Lacquer with Yellow Brass Bell

Elevate Your Performance with Irvine Art and Music

For the versatile musician who demands unparalleled flexibility, the Yamaha YSL-891Z Professional Trombone is the ultimate choice. Crafted in collaboration with renowned trombonists Andy Martin and Wycliffe Gordon, this instrument combines orchestral tonal qualities with the bright, responsive nature needed for genres like jazz, big band, commercial, and pop. Experience the brilliance of Yamaha engineering, meticulously designed to meet the demands of every musical endeavor.

Unmatched Customization for Your Playing Style

The YSL-891Z comes with two interchangeable leadpipes - the longer NY leadpipe, developed with Wycliffe, and the shorter LA leadpipe, favored by Andy. Tailor your trombone's response and resistance to harmonize perfectly with your chosen mouthpiece. This level of customization ensures your instrument becomes an extension of your musical expression.

The 8-inch yellow brass bell, painstakingly hand-hammered from a single piece, forms the heart of this exceptional trombone. Its closely-guarded production techniques guarantee a pure, uniform response and an enchanting tone. With its balanced resonance and projection, the yellow brass bell is a testament to Yamaha's commitment to superior craftsmanship.
