About The Yamaha YBH-301M Bb Marching Baritone Horn

The YBH-301M is ideal for DCI style marching ensembles. It can add a unique voice to your band, darker than a trombone yet brighter than a euphonium, a very rich and strong sound. In addition, the 301M is a well-balanced instrument, making it easier to play, and easier to maneuver with in formations.

Features

• Well balanced - All Yamaha marching instruments as well-balanced, so they are easy to hold maneuver while marching.
  
• Hand-fitted valves and slides - Hand-fitted ensures an absolutely perfect fit and seal between the valve pistons and casing or slide parts. Such a fit helps to achieve smooth air flow and smooth action, and improves the response and intonation of thee instrument.
• Laser-fused pluzuma-welded bells - A high-energy laser fuses the brass together for a virtually seamless bell, which results in continuous, even vibrations.
• Pressure-formed tubing - The perfectly rounded tubing results in less turbulence and a smoother air flow, thus making possible an excellent scale and reduced resistance.
• Heavy bracing - All Yamaha marching instruments have heavy bracing throughout, so they are more durable at vulnerable points and can withstand the rigors of use in a marching band.
