Yamaha YSL681B tenor trombone

Yamaha YSL681B tenor trombone

The Yamaha YSL 681B has been developped by Yamaha and Ian Bousfield and is the straight version of the 682B. It features a yellow brass slide and a gold brass bell. It’s probably based on a good Conn 8h as Mr. Bousfield played Conn trombones a lot.

This one is in ok condition. A good polish would take it visually to the next level, but I like trombones with character! The tuning slide is completely unlacquered and looks like it had some dent repair, lacquer is a little worn. The slide is good and silent. This is actually a pretty good sounding large bore trombone. It definitely makes me think of a Conn 8h.

    Hagmann custom tenor trombone

    Hagmann custom tenor trombone

    Hagmann does not only build trombone valves, but you can also get to their shop and they will build you a trombone out of the different pieces you like. This is one of those custom trombones featuring a yellow brass Courtois bell, a Bach 42 slide and of course a Hagmann valve. The vibrabell system allows the bell to vibrate more freely and makes it really easy to assemble and disassemble the bell section. It’s a great concept wich I use myself on my daily drivers on tenor and bass trombone.

    This particular trombone is in excellent condition. The bell section is unlacquered without any dents or scratches. The slide is in excellent condition, fast and silent. As is the valve of course.

      Silver Conn 70h

      1966 Conn 70H

      This is the beauty queen of today’s photo shooting! A very nice Conn 70H! The two tone silver finish is gorgeous and in very nice shape except some spots where the lacquer has come off. When it came to me it was nearly entirely black, after a very light polish it looks really nice again.

      I initially posted this trombone as being from 1966 wich is of course impossible since Conn discontinued the 70H after 1955. The serial number on the slide handgrip of the slide indicates H41xxx. Also the metal on that section looks slighty different. So that makes me think, the slide grip may have been replaced sometime. The outer slide looks original to me as do the slide inners.

      This remains us with the question, when this trombone was made. The engraving on it may indicate it is from before 1945. A previous owner also contacted me with some precious info on it. It looks like this trombone was originally owned by the bass trombonist of the Oslo Philharmonic in the 1950’s, Lyder Vengboe. It may very well be the bass trombone played on this recording of the Grieg Piano Concerto from 1961: https://youtu.be/9tc0ljAFMCU

      And those two pictures seem to indicate that he already played that Conn in 1952 on a tour in Norway:

      So it is at least from before 1952. Nice shape for being that old!

      Slide and valve are fast and silent although there is some wear on one of the slide inners. This is the “long slide, short bell” version and it produces a glorious sound!

        Some small blemishes: One ding on the bell stem and a smaller one on the tuning slide. Some scratches, but for a horn made in the 70’s this one is still really nice!
