YEP-842S Euphonium

GRAND RAPIDS, MI (August 2, 2001) — Yamaha Corporation of America, Band & Orchestral Division, announces the debut of the YEP-842S B^b/F Compensating Euphonium – an instrument crafted for the demands of the world's top players.

In addition to its compensating system, which ensures accurate tuning throughout the instrument's range, the YEP-842S features three top action and a fourth side action corrosion-resistant monel pistons, an open-design gold brass leadpipe, a more responsive thickness for its 11.8-in. upright bell, a .591 – .661-in. bore and improvements to the bracing and holding tube. The use of nickel silver slide tubing resists corrosion and improves tone.

"Our philosophy of vertically integrating our product lines has always started with the very top model," says Kurt Witt, Wind Instrument product manager, Band & Orchestral Division. "This new custom euphonium represents a complete line of instruments – from school models to the instruments used by the world's top soloists – that all adhere to the same standards for quality and artistry."

Available in stores now, the YEP-842S Custom Bb/F Euphonium is destined to take the stage with professional euphonium players and serious amateurs alike.

"This model is going to be the definitive horn for the euphonium soloist," Witt declared.
