Perfect Compression (0.1), FABULOUS sound and construction, and a detachable bell - what's NOT to like in the Yamaha 766? This was the model that made people really take notice that Yamaha was building TOP quality horns. The soldering is perfect, the valve construction and fit is better than 90 percent of all horns currently made, and the sound is dark and powerful. This horn is made of lacquered yellow brass and is all original. There is the expected wear in the lacquer (some scratching and wear) and there are a few minor dings here and there, but this horn was NOT played very much - thus the still amazing valve compression. I can't think of any horns in this price range currently available that are comprable.
Yamaha detachble bell case included.
