YAMAHA / YFH-8310Z Flugelhorn Custom

The second generation model that further evolved YFH-8310Z supervised by Mr. Bobby Shu. The stability in the upper register and richly colored tones create a higher level of musical expression, and demonstrate outstanding individuality in the jazz scene at live houses and studio work.

The newly designed valve casing, which has been thoroughly analyzed for everything from the materials to the struts, has achieved an optimal blowing feel that allows the instrument to play efficiently.

The mouth pipe uses an innovative design "Malone pipe" that makes the high range blowing feeling and pitch more accurate. Furthermore, by shortening the pipe and using a lot of brass, we have achieved a free-playing feeling and a traditional tone with a sense of color.

The screw is also newly designed in a bale shape, making it easier to aim for high frequencies in addition to making the points of sound clearer. In addition, by using brass as the material, it plays a softer tone.
