This is how Yamaha describes this lovely instrument
Consistent, durable construction gives this alto horn excellent response and reliable intonation, while being extremely easy to play.
The YAH-203S incorporates many of the design details of our top model 602, and shares many of its tonal characteristics. Easy to play, the 203 features excellent intonation.
Features
- Honed valve
- The precise fit between valve casings and pistons after honing means no air leakage.
- Pressure formed tubing
- Perfectly rounded tubing results in less turbulence and a smoother air flow, thus allowing for an excellent scale and reduced resistance.
- Laser-fused pluzuma welded bell
- A high-energy laser fuses the brass together for a virtually seamless bell which allows continuous even vibrations.
- Excellent response
- Consistent intonation
- Well-centred sound
- Full and round sound
- This provides a warm blend with the other instruments of the brass section.
