Yamaha 8820 Bb/F Xeno Trombone    YSL 882 O

Yamaha 8820 Bb/F Xeno Trombone

"The Ultimate Orchestral Style Trombone Has Arrived
The rumors were floating around for years: there was a great ‘heavy-style' trombone available in Japan, and in Japan only. The only ones who had ever seen it were musicians touring in Japan. It was called the Xeno and a lot of those players really liked it. They liked it so much, in fact, that they kept asking, “why not offer it outside Japan?” But we weren't ready—the Xeno wasn't ready; we were still working on it, perfecting it day by day.
But now it's ready! Now the Xeno is being offered to the world.

The Yamaha 8820 Bb/F Xeno Trombone features heavier gauge brass and a thick-walled, one-piece brazed bell which has been hand-hammered thousands of times for the ultimate in a big orchestral sound. The open-wrap F section gives a free-blowing response and the entire instrument has an evenness and balance you have to experience to believe. The tone is flexible with myriad tonal colors, and gives you both powerful projection at fortissimo and subtle control in the most delicate passages. This may well be the most expressive orchestral style trombone ever created.

Sullivan Signature Mouthpiece
Principal trombone of the Pittsburgh Symphony, Peter Sullivan was one of the primary design consultants behind the Xeno trombones (along with Alain Trudel and Thomas Horch). The Sullivan signature mouthpiece is perfectly suited for use with the Xeno, and is included with every case"
