The
makers say
Yamaha 697Z Trombone
Jazz trombone
players have a new voice.
Inner slide.
The chrome-plated nickel-silver drawn inner slide
of the Yamaha 697Z Trombone is very durable and has a quick,
sensitive response. In addition, it is a one-piece drawn slide.
Outer slide.
The one-piece, drawn, brass outer slide maintains
an accurate diameter throughout its length, and this type
of construction ensures airtightness, smooth action, and exceptional
durability. The outer slide is fit with extremely close tolerances
making the horn respond quickly and effortlessly.
Inner slide
stockings. Specially designed, one-piece inner slide
stockings guarantee airtight slide construction and 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.
One-piece
bell. A one-piece bell has an axial (lengthwise)
seam, making it a continuous extension of the instrument's
material. This results in pure, uniform resonance and superior
tone. A hammered yellow brass bell on the Yamaha 697Z Trombone
produces a pure and perfectly-balanced tone with quick response
and extra presence due to advanced manufacturing techniques.
Hand-lapped
tuning slides. Hand-lapping slides ensures an absolutely
perfect fit and seal between the slide parts. Such a perfect
fit helps to achieve smooth air flow and smooth action and
improve the response and intonation of the instrument.
Balancer.
The balancer found on the Yamaha 697Z Trombone 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 all Yamaha trombones
keeps the slide locked in place and keeps it from accidentally
falling.
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.
Tone. The
Yamaha 697Z Trombone has a compact, well-centered tone and
quick response suitable for all types of trombone performance.
