YAMAHA YHR-672 PROFESSIONAL DOUBLE FRENCH HORN

The YHR-672 Full Double Horn is ideal for a wide range of playing situations with a traditional wrap and an extra-large bell for enhanced warmth and depth. A new leadpipe inherits its design from the renowned YHR-862 custom model (1979 – 1987). The YHR-672 offers evolved playability with luxurious resonance and power that can fill any hall.

It is available in yellow brass for players who want more brilliance, or nickel silver, the standard material for extra-large-bell horns, for players who prioritize power and response.

Leadpipe

To produce rich overtones and a timbre with impressive depth, the taper shape is based on the highly acclaimed Yamaha Custom Horn YHR-862 that is widely considered to be a masterpiece in horn design. Ideal playing resistance gives the performer maximum expressive freedom.

Main and F Tuning Slides

Somewhat square crook tuning slide increases playing resistance, while repositioned main brace rods contribute to well-balanced overall playability.

LL Bell

An extra-large bell delivers rich, powerful tone to every seat in the hall. The unsoldered bell rim contributes to freer, more open playability.

Short-stroke 4th lever mechanism

The lever mechanism has been redesigned to have a shorter stroke that allows faster switching between the F and Bb sides. This adds to convenience and comfort while allowing the player to concentrate more fully on the performance.
