Yamaha YV-2030MS 3.0 Octave Compact Vibraphone with Aluminum Alloy Bars

Perfect for limited budgets, beginning percussionists, and those in need of a compact instrument.


  • Bars utilize the exclusive Yamaha tuning method for true pitch and a full sound
  • Non-graduated bars make the YV-2030MS compact, while its silver, matte finish produces a warm sound
  • Locking, 3-inch casters on the player side are easy to reach and secure the instrument while playing
  • Only essential accidental resonators are used to reduce weight and size for transport


Tone Bar Material

The tone bars are made of the same aluminum alloy that is used in Yamaha celestas. The tone bars produce a soft, warm tone that blends beautifully with other instruments in ensembles.


Gas Spring Height Adjustment

The gas spring height-adjustment system previously used only in our high-end keyboard percussion instruments is now provided in our educational models as well, allowing students of any height and physique to play in ideal posture with simple operation.

Vibration-Damping Rubber Joints (Patent applied for)

These components make height adjustment easier by eliminating the need to maintain the instrument level while adjusting height (with the previous models, care was required to keep the instrument level while adjusting its height). The vibration-damping rubber also reduces floor noise that can occur when the instrument is played.

Damper Belt

In the previous models, the damper and damper pedal were linked by a metal rod that could be accidentally bent if a user attempted to adjust the instrument’s height without first loosening the rod’s wing bolts. In the new models, the metal rod has been replaced by a belt that eliminates this problem, and since the wing bolts are replaced by a buckle, there is no chance they will be misplaced or lost. The use of a belt also means slippage cannot occur when the damper pedal is pressed.


Parallel Action Damper

Compared to conventional damper mechanisms that use a pivoted damper arm, the damper mechanism in the new models moves perpendicularly to the natural and accidental tone bars and contacts them evenly for improved damping. The new mechanism is also safer because parts that could catch fingers have been eliminated.

Casters

The diameter of the casters has been increased from 50 mm on previous models to 76 mm for notably improved mobility.
