Yamaha YFH-8310Z lacquered

The legendary YFH-6310Z has found a worthy successor in the new YFH-8310Z. A wealth of detailed improvements in construction and design give the new Yamaha Z flugelhorn an overwhelming, traditional flugelhorn sound with a precise response and a new lightness of touch. This makes the YFH-8310Z, developed with Bobby Shew, an instrument that allows the musician an impressive range of expression and sound variability and captivates the listener.

Brand new design:

The new flugelhorn is based on the legendary YFH-6310Z Bobby Shew model.

New trigger - more ergonomics:

The newly developed trigger impresses with its ergonomic shape and is easy to operate, regardless of the size of the player's hand.

Malone Pipe - lighter response, more feel:

The new leadpipe developed by our designer Bob Malone makes the response of the flugelhorn more direct and conveys more playing feel. The outer shape and support have also been redesigned.

Valve covers - small details, big effect:

The shape of the valve covers has been adopted from the popular YTR-8310Z. Together with the uniquely smooth-running valves, they ensure an excellent playing feel and outstanding sound.

Tuning slides in traditional arrangement:

The tuning slides on this model are arranged vertically.

Monel valves:

Monel valves are particularly resistant and therefore ideal for our professional flugelhorns.

Hand-lapped valves and tuning slides:

The hand-lapped valves and slides ensure an even flow of air and improve the response and intonation of the instrument.
