Just picked up an old yamaha 611. Mostly made of copper (I think) and a 10 inch bell and my, what a sound! Very rich, deep, and mellow. This is definetly a keeper. I'd like to get it fixed up- split the triggers, get a d tuning slide. It also has a very nice patina.

I felt the same way about a Yamaha YBL-612R I played in high school. Loved the way it sounded, and I probably would have one if it wasn't for the dependent setup. I have definitely grown too fond of my 2nd valve for that.
