| The Yamaha YSL-354 standard trombone is considered by many educators to be the perfect student instrument. Durable, with a great sound and easy to play, the YSL-354 Trombone is the right choice! A few features include a laser-fused pluzuma welded bell (creates a virtually seamless bell providing continuous and even vibrations), pressure formed tubing (less turbulence and smoother air flow), and superb weight distribution (for comfort and ease of play). The Yamaha YSL-354 Trombone is also available in a silver-plated finish (see model number YSL-354S). As with all new Yamaha Band Instruments, the YSL 354 Trombone includes Yamaha’s unbeatable 5 Year Factory Warranty. Features:
Inner slide
The chrome-plated yellow brass drawn inner slide is very durable and has a quick, sensitive response.
Outer slide
The one-piece drawn yellow brass outer slide maintains an accurate diameter throughout its length and this type of construction ensures air-tightness, smooth action, and exceptional durability and adds resonance to the sound.
Inner slide stockings
Specially designed one-piece inner slide stockings guarantees airtight slide construction, offer smoother slide action and better alignment, even in the extended 6th and 7th positions.
Tubular braces
Long-lasting nickel-silver tubular braces contribute to the stability of the slide and enhance smooth slide action.
Balancer
The balancer found on the YSL-354 perfectly proportions the instrument's weight.
Pressure formed tubing
Perfectly rounded tubing results in less turbulence and a smoother air flow, thus allowing for an excellent scale and reduced resistance.
Laser-fused pluzuma welded bell
A high-energy laser fuses the brass together for a virtually seamless bell which allows continuous even vibrations.
Slide lock
The unique slide lock design on the Yamaha 354 Trombone keeps the slide locked in place and keeps it from accidentally falling.
Weight distribution
Beginners are more comfortable playing the Yamaha YSL-354 because its superb weight distribution makes it easier to hold.
Bracing
The large, easy-to-hold nickel silver bracing guards against possible slide damage if the instrument is dropped and also lessens fatigue while playing.
Mouthpipe
Yamaha trombones have mouthpipes featuring special acoustic designs allowing for precise intonation and greater blowing control. |
