NEW INTERMEDIATE TROMBONE OFFERS PROFESSIONAL FEATURES

YSL-548GOAL Allegro trombone

BUENA PARK, CA (May 21, 2004)—Yamaha Band & Orchestral Division has recently introduced the YSL-548GOAL Allegro trombone.

The Allegro line was designed to give more professional features and options to intermediate instruments without significantly raising the cost.

The open wrap design of the new trombone enables a greater response, while the mechanical linkage is designed for easy adjustment and durability. The instrument features a .547 bore and an 8.5-in. gold brass bell, which produces a warm, resonant sound. The new trombone, which will appeal to advancing students, replaces the YSL-548GAL and will be available through Yamaha Allegro dealers only.

"As with all instruments in the Allegro line, the new trombone will provide players with a superior step-up instrument that allows a student to advance to his or her fullest potential," says Kurt Witt, Manager, Wind Instruments.

The YSL-548GOAL Allegro trombone is currently available.
