Yamaha YSL-882OR
Anyone have any experiences with this horn? What's the deal with the leadpipe? It appears to be removable, but I don't see any other lead pipe options for purchase. Is the rotor just a larger version of their normal rotor valve? I played one this last week, and thought it had some nice qualities.

It's my favorite of the large tenor Xenos. I have played one that was absolute garbage, didn't center at all, but I've played several others that were great.

Re: Yamaha YSL-882OR
The 882OR and 882 both have removable leadpipes, but they have never released any other options. Previous Yamaha offerings would usually come with the standard 3 leadpipes like most horns that feature them. You could probably get some press fit leadpipes from third party makers that would work nicely.
The "Balance Response" rotor is an internally vented rotor, that equalizes the pressure in the F-attachment before the valve is totally engaged, so there is no possibility of a "pop". I don't think it's really any bigger than the regular rotor.

I think he's referring to the 68x and 64x medium and large bore horns.norbie2018 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2020 5:49 amWhich trombones?tbonesullivan wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2020 12:42 am Previous Yamaha offerings would usually come with the standard 3 leadpipes like most horns that feature them.

Re: Yamaha YSL-882OR
Yeah, from the 90s I believe, or late 80s. My private teacher / band director had one. It was very nice, though suffered from a lot of acid bleed. You still see them around now and again. Very nice horns. The leadpipes were numbered 1 to 3 and basically were less open to more open, as the standard leadpipes that you see from Getzen/Edwards and others.
I think maybe Yamaha had the idea of working with additional professionals to get the same type of LA or NY thing like they had for the Jazz horns.

Re: Yamaha YSL-882OR
I seriously thought about buying one and one of my students bought one. IMO it's the best mass production Bach 42 out there.
