PROFESSIONAL HORNS OFFER IMPROVED RESPONSE, MORE PROJECTION
ANAHEIM, CA—The next generation of YHR-668 French horns
from Yamaha Corporation of America, Band & Orchestral Division,
will make their debut at Winter NAMM 2003.
The professional horn, a larger Kruspe style instrument, boasts
a new leadpipe design and bell taper, dramatically improving
response in the mid to low register of the instrument while
adding body to the sound. These changes also give the horn a
quick response and more projection in all ranges, making it
perfect for orchestral performances.
The new French horns take the tone that musicians love in
their "classic" instruments and builds on those characteristics.
They are an upgrade to four Yamaha YHR-668 models: the YHR-668,
YHR-668N (nickel silver), YHR-668D (detachable bell) and YHR-668ND
(nickel, detachable bell). All models are currently available.
"From great player collaboration comes great results,"
states Kurt Witt, Wind Instrument product manager. "The
new 668 horns contain all the great qualities of instruments
of the past, but add incredibly accurate intonation and improved
playability."
