YSL-882O Tenor Trombones with F Attachment

The Xeno features heavier gauge brass and a thick-walled, one-piece brazed bell which has been hand-hammered thousands of times for the ultimate in a big orchestral sound. The open-wrap F section gives a free-blowing response and the entire instrument has an evenness and balance you have to experience to believe. The tone is flexible with myriad tonal colors, and gives you both powerful projection at fortissimo and subtle control in the most delicate passages. This may well be the most expressive orchestral style trombone ever created.

The lever action has been upgraded with a shorter stroke that affords improved operability. Other refinements include a double torsion spring that contributes to consistent lever operation, and double ball bearings that reduce the need for maintenance and make maintenance easy when it does become necessary.

Bell

The YSL-882OII's bell is the same slightly oversized 220 millimeter (8-2/3 inch) type that is standard on Xeno trombones.

* The detachable bell on the YSL-882ODII is similar to the YSL-882OII one-piece bell, but separates at the base of the flare.

Invaluable development support was provided by Peter Sullivan, principle trombone with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Professor of Trombone, Cleveland Institute of Music and Carnegie Mellon University.

“I always believed it was necessary to have multiple instruments of different brands to cover a variety of playing situations. Since I have been using a Xeno trombone I have that it is the only instrument I need. The main reasons are that it is warm, clear, and can adapt to any situation!”
