The YAH–203 incorporates many of the design details of our top model 602, and shares many of its tonal characteristics. Easy to play, the 203 features excellent intonation.
Features
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.
Excellent response
Consistent intonation
Well-centered sound
Full and round sound
This provides a warm blend with the other instruments of the brass section.
Available features
The YAH-203 alto horn is available with a silver-plated finish.
