The YFH-631: Elite Sound and Provenance
The Yamaha 631 is considered a standard-bearer for professional flugelhorns, providing a beautiful tonal blend and excellent projection. Its two-tone construction is both intentional and visually striking.
What makes this YFH-631 an elite instrument:
-
Dark, Rich Rose Brass Tone: The body is constructed primarily of Rose Brass, which has a higher copper content than yellow brass. This gives the instrument a warmer, darker, and more mellow core sound—ideal for lyrical solo work and blending.
-
Proven Military Quality: As an Ex-USAF Band of the West horn, this instrument has been subject to rigorous maintenance and performance schedules, guaranteeing its functional integrity and stability.
-
Excellent Condition: This flugelhorn is in excellent condition, showing very little signs of use. We see only a few surface level scratches and minimal wear on the touches and valve casing, typical of a well-cared-for professional horn.
-
Standard Professional Specs: Features a Yellow Brass valve casing and slides for optimal valve action and stability, complementing the rose brass body.
