Taking the flugelhorn to a new level Yamaha has introduced the YFH8315G Custom flugel. This boasts a newly designed lead pipe for improved intonation and response. The 3rd valve trigger system has been redesigned for a smoother slide action and greater comfort. Using a 2 piece gold brass bell for a dark sound this plays like a dream. Add in Yamaha's legendary craftsmanship and you have a new standard in flugels.

Features:

Brand new design: The YFH-8315G us a fresh and unique addition to the Yamaha flugelhorn lineup.

New trigger system: The newly designed third valve slide trigger is more ergonomic and will accommodate a wider range of hand sizes.

New leadpipe design: The YFH-8315G features a newly designed leadpipe, outer leadpipe area and a new connection brace between the leadpipe and the valve casing.

Vertical valve tubing: Traditionally, flugelhorns are made with vertical valve tubing.

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-lapping pistons and slides ensures 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.
