Yamaha YBL620G bass trombone

When taking pictures of my trombones I often get a little frustrated. As I try to show you all minor imperfections, often times the pictures look worse than the trombones look in real life. Well not this time! This Yamaha YSL620G bass trombone is in pretty much perfect condition. Some tiny little scratches on the bell section - I can't even picture them - and two very small creases on the bell stem. The slide crook had some meetings with music stands, but other than that this bass trombone is in outstanding condition.

Features: 9 1/2" gold brass bell, yellow brass body, nickel silver slide, dependent F/D valves. Through a quite ingenious design you can also put it in F/Eb.

So, how does it play? I think I actually never played a Yamaha bass before, so I was curious to try this YSL620G out. First play test: "Wow, this is nice!" Second play test: "Oh I really like that!". Third play test... well, you get the idea. I like it. Sounds big and dark but still has that nice core I am looking for in a bass trombone sound.

Buy a new Yamaha YSL620G from Yamaha for more than 6'000$ or get this one at a radically better price!
