Yamaha YSL-350C Bb-Compact Trombone Incl. Case and Mouthpiece

The Yamaha YSL-350 Bb-Compact Trombone is designed for younger players and students.

Many students are fascinated by the trombone. It has a strong and pleasing tone which can slide smoothly from note to note, and it's visually exciting—-it looks fun! But unlike most other instruments, most trombones cannot be played by small students. Modern trombones were designed for adults, and many would-be beginners just can't stretch their arms far enough to play all the slide positions. That's why Yamaha created the 350C. This is a full-sized trombone, using the traditional slide positions, but it's much shorter in length. With its ascending valve, you can play a full scale without using the two farthest positions!

The rotor allows the player to use alternate positions without having to reach extended slide positions while the chrome-plated nickel-silver inner slide is very durable and has a quick, sensitive response.

A high-energy laser fuses the brass together for a virtually seamless bell which allows continuous even vibrations.

The unique slide lock design on all Yamaha trombones keeps the slide locked in place and keeps it from accidentally falling.

The large, easy-to-hold nickel silver bracing guards against possible slide damage if the instrument is dropped and also lessens fatigue while playing.

Yamaha trombones have mouthpipes featuring special acoustic designs allowing for precise intonation and greater blowing control.
