YAMAHA INTRODUCES STYLISH TRUMPET AND SAXOPHONE CASE COVERS

Trumpet Case Cover

GRAND RAPIDS, MI (August 30, 2002)—Yamaha Corporation of America, Band & Orchestral Division, introduces two versatile backpack-style case covers—the YAC 1387 for the YTR-2335 trumpet and the YAC 1389 for the YAS-23 alto saxophone.

These two-in-one case covers, designed to shield trumpet and alto saxophone cases, provide three key features: extra protection for the instrument, a convenient and comfortable way of carrying the case, and storage space for accessories.

The case covers are styled in black nylon for durability and sport the Yamaha embroidered logo, while straps makes them comfortable to carry as a backpack or briefcase. A zippered pocket makes it convenient to carry instruments, band folders, method books, sheet music and other accessories.

"Functional as well as fashionable, these case covers give students the option of carrying their instrument 'backpack' style, while giving adults the more sophisticated look of a briefcase," noted Kurt Witt, Wind Instrument product manager. "The black nylon is easy to clean and has a professional look."
