Pre-Owned Yamaha YCR-8620S Professional Eb Soprano Cornet - Silver Plate (Shop Adjusted)
For sale is an absolute gem for the serious brass band musician: a pre-owned Yamaha YCR-8620S Professional Eb Soprano Cornet, serial number 995605. Originally introduced under the Xeno/Neo lineage, this instrument was designed in collaboration with some of the world's finest brass band players to provide unmatched comfort and security in the notoriously unforgiving high register of the Eb cornet.
We see a ton of these go to dedicated British-style brass band players, collegiate soloists, and professional doublers who need impeccable intonation and a sweet, singing tone that can effortlessly float over an ensemble. Because it features a traditional shepherd's crook design paired with a silver-plated finish, you are getting an instrument with an incredibly warm, rich acoustic core that retains enough brilliance to project clearly.
- Eb Soprano Pitch: Built in the key of Eb, this cornet is the standard for high-register brass band repertoire, offering much more secure slotting and an inherently brighter, sweeter tone than a standard Bb cornet in the upper octaves.
- Shepherd's Crook Design: The traditional shepherd's crook bell bend provides a slightly darker, more velvety, and highly malleable tone color compared to standard "long" cornets.
- Silver-Plated Finish: The factory silver plating not only looks stunning under stage lights, but it also adds a highly desirable layer of brilliance and core projection to perfectly balance the warmth of the shepherd's crook.
- The Fleming Setup: Even top-tier used horns need a master technician's touch. Our expert in-house staff has fully inspected, cleaned, and precision-adjusted this cornet to ensure the pistons are lightning-fast and the slides are perfectly smooth.
Condition Report & Shop Prep
- Finish (Cosmetics): Very Good Player's Condition. The silver plating is beautifully intact and glowing. It shows some normal, honest signs of professional use, but possesses a fantastic aesthetic and is completely stage-ready.
- Body: Structurally Excellent. There are no major dents, dings, or signs of detrimental trauma to the instrument.
- Mechanics: Stage-Ready. The Monel pistons are incredibly smooth and hold excellent compression. All tuning slides pull freely. It plays brilliantly right out of the box.
- Accessories: (Please Note: This instrument is being sold as the horn only. A case and mouthpiece are not included).
