Available in both fixed-bell (YHR-672) and detachable-bell (YHR-672D) versions, these instruments share the same extra-large bell design that produces a deep, powerful sound ideal for solo and ensemble performance. Perfect for advancing students, educators, and more experienced musicians, the YHR-672 series projects with strength and clarity, offering the versatility needed for a wide range of musical styles. The fixed-bell YHR-672 delivers a classic one-piece bell response, while the detachable model adds the convenience of a detachable bell for easier transport and storage. Custom-inspired leadpipe design To produce rich overtones and a timbre with impressive depth, the taper shape is based on the legendary YHR-862 custom horn, which is widely considered to be a masterpiece in design. Ideal playing resistance offers players expressive control and tonal flexibility. Main and f tuning slides The YHR-672 features a somewhat square crook on the tuning slides, which increases resistance for a more centred tone. Repositioned main brace rods contribute to a well-balanced playing experience. Extra-large LL bell The LL size bell, a defining feature of this horn, projects a rich and resonant tone that reaches every corner of a concert hall. The unsoldered bell rim adds a level of openness and freedom to the horn's response, supporting effortless and dynamic control. Short-stroke 4th lever mechanism Engineered for speed and comfort, the redesigned short-stroke 4th valve lever allows fast, fluid transitions between the Bb and F sides. This lets musicians concentrate on their musical performance.
