Yamaha YHR-322II Standard Series Horn

The 322II features a rich, clear tone and well centered notes. It provides security and comfort in the mid-to-upper range without sacrificing any sound in the lower register. The comfortable weight and balance, as well as accurate intonation and immediate response, make this an ideal horn for young beginners. An A+ stop valve is included to eliminate the need to transpose during stopped passages. Lightweight and less complicated than double horns, ideal for new horn students.

About Yamaha Standard Horns

Yamaha Standard Horns feature a wrap that provides more comfortable hand position and smooth airflow. Enhanced response and intonation is provided by the taper design on the gold-brass leadpipe. The nickel-silver inner and outer slides provide a superior fit with less chance of corrosion. The tapered valve design ensures long wear and protects against leakage. The durable clear epoxy lacquer finish provides long-lasting beauty.
