[YAMAHA / YSL-8425R]

This is a YAMAHA custom model tenor bass trombone manufactured around the 1980s-1990s. This instrument features a red brass bell and gold brass for the straight part of the slide. Red brass (commonly known as red bell), which contains more copper than gold brass, is characterized by its warm sound. This model is no longer in production, and it is rarely seen on the used market, making it extremely valuable. The outer slide tubes are also made of gold brass (usually yellow brass), and while it retains YAMAHA's signature light blowing feel and excellent operability, it is designed with a strong emphasis on sound.
The slide and rotary valve operate smoothly. There is no sticking in the slide tubes. It is ready to be used as is.
There are some minor scratches and dirt on the exterior, and some slight lacquer deterioration on the hand rest supports. There are also some spotty discolorations on the lacquer of the main tubing, but this does not affect performance. A protective blue vinyl sticker is attached to the part that rests on the neck; it will be shipped as is. This is the type of sticker applied to new instruments, so you may remove it if you wish.
A Bach 6-1/2AL mouthpiece is included.
The case is the original hard case shown in the photos, and it is in good working condition.
