Overview

The Yamaha YSL-882GO Xeno is a professional-grade Bb/F tenor trombone built to meet the demands of orchestral, solo, and ensemble performance. At its core is an 8-11/16 inch one-piece hand-hammered yellow brass bell that produces a rich, resonant tone with complex overtones and strong projection. The gold brass fixed leadpipe adds warmth to the sound, while the .547-inch medium-large bore strikes an effective balance between a free-blowing feel and a full, centered tone. The open wrap F attachment minimizes tubing resistance, keeping the airflow natural and even when the valve is engaged.

Playability is enhanced by a chrome-plated nickel silver inner slide with a one-piece drawn yellow brass outer slide, delivering smooth, fast action essential for demanding repertoire. The mechanical valve linkage provides a positive, reliable feel when engaging the F attachment. Yamaha includes a Peter Sullivan signature series mouthpiece and a fitted case, making this a complete package for the working professional. The clear epoxy lacquer finish protects the instrument while preserving the natural vibrancy of the brass. Developed with input from leading trombonists worldwide, the YSL-882GO represents Yamaha's commitment to professional-quality craftsmanship in the Xeno series.
