Yamaha have continued with a basic design that was created for the hugely successful YCR-2330 and YCR-2310 cornets and added some exciting modifications. The improved sound and playability is evident with a new bore size and two-piece yellow brass bell. The 2000 series also benefits from newly designed heavier valve caps offering a full sound and great projection. These improvements have gone a long way in helping the beginning brass player get started.
Yellow brass bell
The newly redesigned, durable yet light two-piece bell is made of yellow brass for optimal playability and to promote good technique and endurance.
New piston, piston caps and buttons
Highly durable monel alloy pistons as well as newly designed piston buttons and bottom caps help lengthen the life of the instrument while also maximizing sound quality.
New tuning slides
The 2nd and main tuning slides are produced using the same method as high-end Yamaha models, which provides stability, a more refined tonal colour and added durability.
Bore size and lead pipe
The redesigned rounded leadpipe and ML (medium-large) 11.65mm (0.459") bore give this instrument a smooth and light response and a warm tone quality.
