This
is the first Yamaha Baritone to feature a 3-valve compensating
system, and is another example of how advanced Yamaha technology
and ideas come together to deliver the sound and playability
artists desire. While retaining the traditional Baritone configuration,
the YBH-831 includes refinements that are invisible to the
eye but make a significant difference in performance.
Compensating
System
The 3-valve compensating system is a traditional baritone
type with an original tubing configuration for improved pitch
compensation. By allowing breath to flow through the bypass
tubes of valves that are pressed simultaneously with the third
valve, pitch accuracy in the mid to low range is markedly
improved. You can play in the normal way, without using a
trigger or alternate fingerings, making it easier to concentrate
on the music.
Original Taper and Large Bell
The original main tube taper and large bell add clarity and
projection to a deep, magnificent baritone timbre that won't
get lost in powerful tutti passages.
Leadpipe
In addition to featuring a new design that offers ideal playing
resistance, the leadpipe is not soldered to the bell so that
the full, natural resonance of the instrument is available
for superior expressive capability.
Enhanced Playing Comfort
Slim valve casings and a hand rest mounted parallel to the
valves contribute to a natural, stress-free hand position,
while lightweight pistons make the action quick and agile.
Case
The supplied Neo case features a nameplate and shoulder pad
for convenient carrying.
