The Yamaha YFB-822 is a custom five valve tuba designed for the professional player. Featuring a smooth tone and an action that is unequaled, the 822 is acknowledged by many as the world's finest F tuba. It features a big warm powerful sound with steady and even playability. The low range of the YFB-822 plays and sounds like that of big C tuba, yet the high range offers easy control with assured attacks. The 822 is a favored instrument by both soloists and orchestral players alike.
All Yamaha C, E and F Tubas feature unique hand-lapped valves and custom tuning slides for smooth, airtight action. The clear epoxy finish and gold-brass leadpipe provide durable protection against corrosion, keeping this instrument looking new for years to come.
YFB-822 Model Options
Yamaha offers a number of variable options for select instruments.
- YFB-822S - Same as YFB-822; except silver-plated
Features
- Monel pistons: Monel pistons are resistant to corrosion and are an ideal choice for professional baritone pistons which must retain precise fit and smooth action over many years.
- Hand-lapped pistons: Hand-lapping is a time-consuming finishing process which results in superior valve fit for noiseless, responsive action and easy tone changes.
- Hand-lapped slides: Hand-lapping achieves the perfect balance between airtightness and smooth action.
- Excellent projection: The rich sound of the YFB-822 is sure to come through the ensemble.
- Response and intonation: The most complex passages are easier to facilitate with the faultless response and intonation found in the YFB-822.
- Leadpipe: The nickel-silver leadpipe helps players obtain an exquisite tone while the leadpipe's dimensions and taper offer superior intonation and response.
- Bell: The large bell size on the YFB-822 creates a warm sound with impressive power.
