Manufacturer's Description:
Designed with Andy Martin and Wycliffe Gordon, this Custom Z Trombone provides supreme tonal flexibility for the serious jazz trombonist.
The YSL-891Z comes with 2 interchangeable leadpipes:
- NY Type (NY leadpipe): With a broad taper and a little extra length, this leadpipe passes plenty of breath for fortissimo passages and powerful performances. It features a soft, deep tone that easily fills large concert halls or outdoor spaces.
- LA Type (LA leadpipe): This leadpipe has a gentler taper and is a little shorter than the NY type, providing quick response and easy tonal control. With a focused, bright tone, the LA leadpipe can help to deliver well-defined tone in studio and live-house performance situations.
Other Features:
- The chrome-plated nickel-silver drawn inner slide is very durable and has a quick, sensitive response. In addition, it is a one-piece drawn slide.
- The one-piece, drawn, brass outer slide maintains an accurate diameter throughout its length, and this type of construction ensures airtightness, smooth action, and exceptional durability. The outer slide is fit with extremely close tolerances making the horn respond quickly and effortlessly.
- A one-piece bell has an axial (lengthwise) seam, making it a continuous extension of the instrument's material. This results in pure, uniform resonance and superior tone. A hammered yellow brass bell produces a pure and perfectly-balanced tone with quick response and extra presence due to advanced manufacturing techniques.
