YMP-203M

Produces a warm, round tone with plenty of presence and the ability to hold together at all volumes.

Easy water drainage.

Greatly aids control of intonation.

The use of nickel silver inner and outer slides ensures better fit and less chance of corrosion because nickel-silver is harder and more durable than brass.

The precise fit between valve casings and pistons after honing means no air leakage.

Perfectly rounded tubing results in less turbulence and a smoother air flow, thus allowing for an excellent scale and reduced resistance.

A high-energy laser fuses the brass together for a virtually seamless bell which allows continuous, even vibrations.

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.

All Yamaha marching instruments are well-balanced so they are easy to hold while marching.

All Yamaha marching instruments have heavy bracing throughout so they are more durable at vulnerable points and can withstand marching band.

The YMP-203M marching mellophone is also available with a silver-plated finish (YMP-203MS).
