Features
Nickel silver inner and outer slides
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.

Honed valves
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 slides
A high-energy laser fuses the brass together for a virtually seamless bell which allows continuous, even vibrations.
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.
Well balanced
All Yamaha marching instruments are well-balanced so they are easy to hold while marching.
Heavy bracing
All Yamaha marching instruments have heavy bracing throughout so they are more durable at vulnerable points and can withstand marching band.
Available feature
The YMP-202M marching mellophone is available with a silver-plated finish.

| Key | F | |
|---|---|---|
| Bore | .462" | |
| Bell | 10" front facing yellow brass bell produces a slightly bright and intense sound. | |
| Mouthpiece | The YMP-202M utilizes either a trumpet mouthpiece or French horn mouthpiece. | |
| Valves | Three nickel-plated nickel alloy pistons. | |
| Clear Epoxy Lacquer | Microscopic, electrically-charged particles of lacquer are attracted to and deposited evenly on the surface of the instrument carrying the opposite charge. This produces an exceptionally thin, uniform coating that can be oven-hardened for maximum durability without compromising the instrument's sound. Clear epoxy lacquer provides easy maintenance and scratch and corrosion resistance. | |
| Gold brass leadpipe | Gold brass is extremely resistant to wear and corrosion, and when used in a leadpipe, it ensures long-term precision. | |
