[Features]
Based on the Yamaha Custom Full Double Horn YHR-87D (1992-2014), the Yamaha Wind Instruments and Yamaha Craftsmanship Teams studied the specifications to create this 120th anniversary limited model, the YHR-87DBS, Bass.
The main features of this instrument are the silver-plated bell and body and the gold-brass rotary caps. The silver plating adds density and cohesion to the sound, improving the dynamic range compared with a standard 87D. In addition, the gold-brass work on the rotary caps tightens the response and makes the attack clearer. Even in large-scale orchestral settings, it provides a sense of stability that lets you perform with confidence.
On the playing side, the 4th lever uses an adjustable system, and the finger hook is also movable, making it a practical design that is easy to match to hand size and playing posture. It is easy to handle regardless of physique, and another appealing point is that it is less tiring even during long performances.
Although this instrument was made in 2012, it is in beautiful condition that does not show its age. Cleaning after rotor disassembly, inside-tube cleaning, and maintenance including replacement of various soft parts have all been completed.
The current successor model, the YHR-871D, now exceeds New at over 1 million yen, and even the mid-class YHR-671D is in the 800,000-yen range, so the selling price for this limited specification, beautiful condition, and serviced instrument is a very attractive value price.
With the ease of playability of the 87D, this is an instrument that adds a firmer core and sense of presence. It is a full double horn that combines the degree of completion and practicality refined down to the smallest details by Yamaha and Yamano Musical Instruments.
