Yamaha YSL-862G Professional Tenor Trombone - Gold Brass Bell, Closed Wrap (Shop Adjusted)
For sale is a fantastic, reliable workhorse of the symphonic world: a pre-owned Yamaha YSL-862G Professional Tenor Trombone, serial number 305410. Yamaha’s professional trombones are legendary for their uncompromising consistency, rock-solid intonation, and durable build quality. We see a ton of these go to collegiate music majors, advancing high school students, or gigging professionals who need a horn that just works every single time they pull it out of the case.
This is a great option for anyone looking for that signature warm, dark, and room-filling orchestral tone. Because of the gold brass bell and the traditional closed wrap F-attachment, it offers a really nice, comfortable blowing resistance that helps center your sound beautifully without making you overwork. At this price point, you are getting the acoustic core and mechanical reliability of a top-tier professional instrument for a fraction of what a comparable brand-new model would cost. These solid, traditional-wrap pro horns rarely sit in our display for very long!
The YSL-862G
- Gold Brass Bell: The "G" in the model name designates a gold brass bell. This material has a higher copper content, which produces a noticeably warmer, darker, and more complex overtone profile than standard yellow brass.
- Traditional Closed Wrap: Featuring a standard closed wrap F-attachment, this horn provides a secure, traditional resistance that many symphonic players actually prefer for better note slotting and a compact tonal core.
- Nickel Silver Inner Slide: Engineered for incredibly fast, smooth action and high resistance to wear and corrosion, ensuring years of trouble-free playing.
- The Fleming Setup: Even great used horns need a technician's touch. Our expert in-house staff has fully inspected, cleaned, and precision-adjusted this trombone to ensure the slide is smooth and the rotor holds great compression.
Condition Report & Shop Prep
- Finish (Cosmetics): Very Good Player's Condition. The lacquer is fully intact across the vast majority of the horn. There are some minor "flea bites" and light wear spots on the lacquer from honest, normal use, but no major aesthetic issues.
- Body: Structurally Excellent. There is absolutely no major wear, denting, or signs of trauma to the instrument.
- Mechanics: Stage-Ready. The handslide is fast, easy, and smooth, and the closed-wrap rotor is tight and responsive. It plays really well right out of the box.
- Accessories: Includes the original, older-style boxy Yamaha hard case.
