YAMAHA / YFH-8310Z

This is the second generation model, an evolution of the YFH-8310Z, supervised by Bobby Shew. The stability in the high range and rich tones create a higher level of musical expression, and it demonstrates a distinctive personality in the jazz scene at live houses and studio work.

The newly designed valve casing, which was created by thoroughly analyzing everything from materials to supports, provides an optimal blowing feel that allows the instrument to sound efficiently.

The mouth pipe uses an innovative design called the ""Maroon Pipe"" that makes the blowing feel and pitch in the high range more accurate. In addition, the pipe is shorter and more brass is used to achieve a free blowing feel and a traditional tone with a sense of color.

The screw is also newly designed with a bale shape, which makes the sound points clearer and makes it easier to aim for higher ranges. In addition, the use of brass as the material produces a softer tone.
