Yamaha

Whether they’re building motorcycles, microchips, or marimbas, Yamaha’s commitment to quality is unmatched. And there’s no other product category that exemplifies the Yamaha difference than their brass instruments. Yamaha brass instruments feature thoughtful engineering that takes old-school sensibilities to the next level. And, each one is subjected to the strictest quality control measures before being released from their workshop. Yet, to be deemed truly excellent by Yamaha, these masterfully crafted pieces of art must light a fire of joy and passion in the player’s heart. Whichever Yamaha you choose, you can expect it to live up to those lofty expectations.

Alto Horn YAH203

Since its invention in the 19th century, the alto horn (also known as the tenor horn in Britain and the alto saxo in Latin America) has occupied a unique sonic space in most brass bands. It commonly replaces the French Horn in British-style brass bands and select marching bands. Brass band performers in need of its classic tone will love the Yamaha YAH-203 Alto Horn. Like all Yamaha brass instruments, this horn is built to last and will provide an enjoyable playing experience for years to come. The YAH-203 comes pitched in Eb and has a yellow brass body and upright 8-inch yellow brass bell for a classic sound with an excellent dynamic range. It also has a gold brass leadpipe for clear notes and accurate intonation.

The YAH-203 alto (tenor) horn provides a solid tonal foundation to hold down the low-midrange of an ensemble. It has a small 0.462-inch bore design that fortifies a beginner’s embouchure; it also provides a natural playing feel, which is something that students will undoubtedly enjoy. The leadpipe connects to the first valve instead of the traditional third valve design to make it easier to maintain a good buzz. The YAH-203’s unique leadpipe design also lends a more modern timbre to the overall tone.
