The Yamaha YSL-641 trombone was produced in the early 1970s and was a professional level large bore straight tenor. It was made in Japan at the main Yamaha production plant by their most experienced technicians, at a point when Yamaha were establishing themselves seriously in professional brass.
It is a 13.89mm large bore straight tenor designed for the professional market, and it comes with a rose brass bell, which offers a little extra warmth compared to a standard yellow brass bell. The outer slide has nickel silver legs. These are well built instruments that have lasted, and a good one still competes with far more expensive modern horns once it has been properly set up.
This particular instrument is in well used condition. The silver finish is more or less in tact but covered in hairline scratches and marks that you would expect from an instrument of this age. Like all our second-hand brass it has been fully checked and serviced in our specialist on-site workshop prior to sale.
It is supplied with the original Yamaha hard case but no mouthpiece. At this price it represents a considerable saving on any comparable new professional trombone.
