Gently used, rare Yamaha model YFH-8310US Xeno Bb flugelhorn in silver plate. RECENT CHARLIE MELK PVA & ultrasonically cleaning. In excellent condition apart from very minor surface scratches. I bought this horn from Eric Hand at Brass Gurus earlier this year. A Japan exclusive manufactured in the 2000s, this is the only Yamaha flugelhorn model to bear the Xeno name. With a traditional small bore, it plays with outstanding efficiency and flexibility. The sound is warm, rich, and reaches a large maximum volume. Compared to the (also small-bore) Bobby Shew flugelhorn, the YFH-8310US is not as lightweight and does not brighten as much when pushed. Features: • Model YFH-8310US in silver plate (serial: 433751) • Yellow brass 6″ bell • Bore: small 0.413″ • 3rd slide trigger • Bottom-sprung Monel pistons • Made in Japan No Case/ No Mpcs

That is a sweet horn I played one in jazz band when I was a teenager. It’s incredible that Yamaha makes so many instruments, trumpet, sax, keyboards, guitars they are doing the deal for a very long time offering instruments to us. Keep it up Yamaha.

Great intonation. Perhaps a bit on the bright side?

I was about 4 inches from the microphone, I think the tone is in the Goldilocks realm. Thanks for tuning in! Best, STeve
