Consistent, durable construction gives this alto horn execllent response and reliable intonation, while being extremely easy to play. Honed valves The precise fit between valve casings and pistons after honing means no air leakage. Pressure formed tubing Perfectly rounded tubing results in less turbulence and a smoother air flow, thus allowing for an excellent scale and reduced resistance. Laser-fused pluzuma welded bell A high-energy laser fuses the brass together for a virtually seamless bell which allows continuous even vibrations.

Further Information:
Specifications:

Bore: .462"

Bell: 8" upright yellow brass bell produces a slightly bright and intense sound.

Pistons: Three nickel-alloy nickel-plated pistons resist corrosion and are durable.

Clear epoxy lacquer: Microscopic electrically-charged particles of lacquer are attracted to and deposited evenly on the surface of the instrument carrying the opposite charge. This produces an exceptionally thin, uniform coating that can be oven-hardened for maximun durability without compromising the instrument''''s sound. The sound produced is a solid, somewhat harder sound than silver-plate finishes.

Gold brass leadpipe: Gold brass is extremely resistant to wear and corrosion and when used in a leadpipe it ensures long-time precision.

Excellent response

Consistent intonation

Well-centered sound

Full and round sound: This provides a warm blend with the other instruments of the brass section.

The YAH203 alto horn is available with a silver-plated finish. (YAH203S)
