The attractive and professional YFB-621 tuba from Yamaha sports both smooth airtight action and a full centered sound. Crafted as a professional series tuba by Yamaha, only the finest components and materials were combined to create this uniquely sounding instrument. Yamaha C, E and F Tubas feature hand-lapped valves and tuning slides for smooth, airtight action. The clear epoxy finish and gold-brass leadpipe provide durable protection against corrosion.

YFB-621 Model Options

Yamaha offers a number of variable options for select instruments.

• YFB-621S - Same as YFB-621; 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.
• Full, well-centered sound: The tone of the 3/4 size F tuba makes it ideal for either solo or orchestral playing.
• Available feature: The YFB-621 tuba is available with a silver-plated finish.
