Get Impeccable Intonation with the Yamaha YMP-204MS Marching Mellophone - Silver Plated

The Yamaha YMP-204MS marching mellophone features a rich vibrant sound with excellent tonal projection. Yamaha Research and Development conducted extensive field tests with leading bands, and has redesigned the bracing for a more open 'free-blowing' feel. The overall balance has also been changed making it more comfortable to hold and play, while the slide configuration has been reworked improving both intonation and tone qualities.

• New Leadpipe: Bracing has been removed to help create a more open and free-blowing feel
• Modified Slide Lengths: The first and third valve slide lengths have been modified to improve the overall intonation and tonal coloring
• Improved Weight Distribution: The improved weight distribution places more of the weight near the players' hands, creating a more comfortable instrument
• Quick Bell Flare: The improved bell shape provides optimal projection while producing a clear and soaring sound
