Now the bigger question: is the YBL-835 leadpipe really a 'new' leadpipe, or did they just machine off 3-4mm from the top of the receiver on the 613H/830 leadpipe. Though that's also true for the Duo Gravis design. They also could have just taken the leadpipe, which is two piece, and shortened it from the machined receiver end. They rarely seem to make a change without a good reason, and they made that pipe for the 613H, instead of using a pipe they already had. I've always wondered what the reasoning Yamaha had for the larger engagement. There's actually supposed to be a 'step' in the receiver due to this. I think the Duo Gravis leadpipe was an attempt to have a more continuous taper from the throat of the mouthpiece through the leadpipe. Ask people who play Shires trombones how the lead pipes have changed since the very beginning, especially the bass pipes. My favorite 1 and 1/2G goes too far into the Yamaha basses. However many of todays mouthpieces have different shanks than what was available years ago. I was repeating what someone else said and why I put 'fixed' in quotes.

Other trombones, such as the King Duo Gravis, were designed with a leadpipe that had a longer shank engagement as well, but no one claims that pipe needs 'fixing'. I'm always curious as to why people think something is 'wrong' with the leadpipe used on the 613H and 830. On another point I always had problems making a 1 and 1/2G work on the Yamaha basses but if they have, indeed, 'fixed' the pipe on these I'd be curious to try one. MSRP seems like an old way to do business. WGWTR180 wrote: ↑ Wed 5:40 amYes, understood, however I wouldn't pay 1 half of MSRP for a new Bach 50 these days. The new bass model and all variations will come standard with a gold brass tuning slide. 500' bore slide model with the smaller 7.5' bell (897Z) that comes from the factory with a gold brass tuning slide. The 891ZD comes with a gold tint lacquered, yellow brass tuning slide. I got the impression that was standard, but perhaps it's an option?

He's where I got the info that they come with gold brass tuning slides now.

I was messaging with a newly minted Yamaha artist recently about a mouthpiece he was selling and saw he was playing an 891ZD. That's true - the pics on Yamaha's site and the others I looked at after reading your post, don't seem to reflect this. The ones pictured for Chuck Levin's and Thomanns both look to have yellow brass tuning slides. The 891ZD's pictures I have seen don't seem to show a gold brass tuning slide, but it is harder to tell even without colored lacquer. Box 6600, Buena Park, CA 90622 telephone (714) 522-9011 e-mail or visit uses Gold tinted lacquer currently, so it can be tough to tell. The YBL-830 and YBL-822G are currently shipping.įor more information write Yamaha Corporation of America, Band & Orchestral Division, P.O.

Perfect for professional and semi-professional orchestral and jazz bass trombonists, a newly designed D-slide assembly provides improved response and removal of condensation, while the new convex, lightweight valve cap offers better control of slotting and projection. Improving on the YBL-622, the YBL-822G provides a rich, projecting sound with a solid core and a wide spectrum of tone colors. 'Just as with the Xeno trumpets and trombones, Xeno bass trombones illustrate Yamaha’s design and manufacturing mastery.' 'The YBL-830 refines a tried and true approach to inline independent rotors and gives players a consistent response throughout all registers,' says Kurt Witt, Wind Instrument Marketing Manager.
