Yamaha's YBL-620G Professional Bass Trombone delivers a rich, mellow tone with forceful projection, thanks its large 0.563-inch bore, gold brass bell, and brass body. The YBL-620G comes equipped with a scaled-down 9.5-inch gold brass bell to project the tone with authority ? a huge plus for advancing trombonists. Next, you'll find dependent F and Eb attachments nestled within the bell assembly. The team at Yamaha also includes a D tuning slide in the case. Sweetwater appreciates this thoughtful touch because it lets you replace the Eb tuning slide. Equipping the D slide offers a more accessible selection of alternate slide positions and balances the instrument's weight. The YBL-620G has an epoxy lacquer finish that's easy to maintain and adds a slight warmth to the tone. For advancing and professional trombonists alike, it's a great idea to have a bass trombone like the Yamaha TBL-620G at your disposal.

1-piece, hand-hammered bell





The Yamaha YBL-620G's voice is projected to the audience by a 9.5-inch gold brass bell. Gold brass strikes the perfect balance between the classic tone of yellow brass and the luscious warmth of rose brass. This makes it the ideal choice for players who need an immersive sound across multiple disciplines. At pianissimo volumes, the horn is reserved and focused. Add more air, and the bell responds in kind, supplying subtle harmonics. Go all out and listen as your Yamaha YBL-620G delivers an attention-grabbing tone free of smears and breakup. Across all ranges, you can expect a refined and steady sound.





Stacked dependent rotors





To provide a comprehensive range of low notes, the YBL-620G includes both F and Eb attachments. You'll have a complete chromatic range all the way down to low Bb below the staff. Yamaha achieves this feat by utilizing dependent rotors, which let you use the Eb attachment once the F is already engaged. Each attachment features hand-lapped rotor valves and mechanical linkages for silky-smooth action that will last a lifetime. And with their traditional wrap configuration, the YBL-620G has just the right amount of resistance and fits into cramped orchestra pits.





Yamaha: a tradition of excellence





Whether they're building motorcycles, microchips, or marimbas, Yamaha's commitment to quality is unmatched. And there's no other product category that exemplifies the Yamaha difference than the brass instruments. Yamaha horns feature thoughtful and innovative engineering. And, each one is subjected to the strictest quality control measures before being released from their workshop. Yet, to be deemed truly excellent by Yamaha, these masterfully crafted pieces of art must light a fire of joy and passion in the player's heart. Whichever Yamaha horn you choose, you can expect it to live up to those lofty expectations.
