Hand-lapped slides

Hand-lapping achieves the perfect balance between airtightness and smooth action.

Nickel-silver spatula keys

Carefully positioned nickel-silver spatula keys are strong and are capable of comfortable, fast fingering.

Ball joints for rotary valves

The Yamaha-developed ball joints for the rotary valve levers are durable, yet achieve silent operation and light action.

Leadpipe

The long leadpipe contributes to a beautiful, dark, smooth tone which blends well with other instruments.

Tuning slide positioning

The careful positioning of the tuning slides makes it easier to adjust the slides while playing.

Steel wire bell rim reinforcement

The reinforcement of the bell rim improves the strength and response of the YCB-861.

Large, handmade bell

Impeccable intonation plus outstanding tone and response are a result of the handmade bell.

Fourth valve slide wrap

Uniform response throughout the tuba is assisted by the open wrap fourth valve slide.
