Yamaha's custom series has always been one of the best kept secrets in the horn world. They are a small production hand made horn of incredible quality and craftsmanship. This horn is exactly that! It was the 13th horn made in this series and it's in great condition. Made of unlacquered yellow brass (thus the tarnish) it's valves still have perfect compression with a reading of 0.1. This model followed on the footsteps of the famed YHR 862 - their first custom Kruspe model. The 868 includes a Bb tuning slide and it's easy to change it to sit in Bb if desired. The ring is the original Yamaha ring. Other than a few small dings this horn is in amazing condition.
Dark sound - and, this horn LOCKS in due to those gorgeously crafted rotors.
Yamaha case included if desired.
