Yamaha YEP642 Professional Bb / F Compensating Euphonium
Top-of-the-line euphonium features compensating system for superior intonation.
Monel pistons
Monel pistons are resistant to corrosion and are an ideal choice for professional baritone pistons which must retain precise fit and smooth action over many years.
Hand-lapped valves and slides
Hand-lapping valves and slides ensures an absolutely perfect fit and seal between the valve 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.
Pressure formed tubing
Perfectly rounded tubing results in less turbulence and a smoother air flow, thus allowing for an excellent scale and reduced resistance.
Hand-hammered yellow brass bell
A hand-hammered yellow brass bell produces a slightly more intense tone with a pure, perfectly-balanced tone with quick response and extra presence.
Compensating system
The compensating system found on the YEP-642 ensures accurate tuning on all notes throughout the instrument's range, particularly in the difficult low range.
Bell taper and leadpipe
The combination of the bell taper and leadpipe is designed for greater projection, control and response.
Intonation
True and centered intonation makes this great euphonium even better!
