Each consignment horn that we sell is thoroughly tested by our staff to ensure that you are receiving a quality product. These are the thoughts that were shared by our staff:

In near mint condition, at a great price! The Detachable D slide is still in its original Yamaha packaging, and the case has minor exterior scuffs from storage. Briefly played by its owner, and fresh from the shop where it received a full disassembly and ultrasonic cleaning. 

The Yamaha YBL-822G Xeno Series Bass Trombone is a professional-grade instrument designed to meet the demanding needs of serious bass trombonists. Part of Yamaha’s renowned Xeno line, it reflects expert craftsmanship and a deep understanding of performance expectations in both orchestral and commercial settings. Built with premium materials and exceptional attention to detail, this trombone delivers a colorful range of tones while maintaining reliability and longevity.

Features

• 9.5" Gold Brass Bell: Offers a refined tone, balancing the warmth of rose brass with the clarity of yellow brass. It provides consistent response and subtle tonal control from soft to powerful dynamics.

• Large 0.563" Bore: Ensures a free-blowing response, ideal for producing rich, full-bodied sound.

• Dependent F and D Attachments: Extend the instrument’s lower register, with ergonomic rotor design for comfortable operation.

• Detachable D Slide: Allows removal without tools for increased versatility in tone and response. A secondary tuning slide is included for precise intonation adjustments when the D slide is detached.

• Premium Construction: Lacquer finish, chrome nickel silver inner slides, drawn brass outer slides, and hand-lapped rotors ensure smooth action and durability.

Playability

The YBL-822G is built with player flexibility in mind. The dependent valve system allows quick access to an extended chromatic low range, making it ideal for symphonic works. Removing the D slide transforms the instrument into a brighter, more responsive horn, perfect for solo or commercial settings. The ergonomic design, smooth slide action, and balanced resistance across registers make the YBL-822G comfortable to play for extended periods, supporting dynamic expression and technical precision.
