Professional-level Compensating Euphonium with Main Tuning Slide Trigger
The Yamaha YEP-642TSII Neo is a professional euphonium that's equally at home in solo or ensemble settings, and it blends seamlessly with baritone and tenor horns. This dual-bore euphonium exhibits an energetic response with robust projection, and its incredible valve action takes comfort and playability to a whole new level. The YEP-642TSII includes four monel alloy pistons, in a 3+1 configuration, with a compensating tuning system that ensures accurate tuning throughout the instrument's range — especially on those difficult low notes. Furthermore, it comes equipped with a main tuning slide trigger to adjust intonation on the fly. Hand-lapped valves and slides supply a perfect fit and seal, exhibiting effortless air flow, smooth action, and amazing response. What's more, this horn's silver-plated brass body lends an ear-grabbing brilliance to every note you play. The Yamaha YEP-642TSII is tailor-made for players with discerning tastes. If this describes you, the YEP-642TSII may just well be the last euphonium you'll ever need to buy.
Tailor-made for discriminating players
Serious players searching for a pro-level euphonium with uncanny power and sustain, along with outstanding playing resistance and rock-solid intonation will find much to appreciate in the YEP-642TSII. It boasts a 0.591-inch to 0.661-inch, dual-bore design, which fortifies the horn's lower register with extra responsiveness and openness. The YEP-642TSII’s 11.8-inch, 2-piece yellow brass bell exhibits a lively sound with excellent projection, and its large shank mouthpiece receiver ensures a broad tone and free-blowing feel. What's more, its hand-lapped valves and slides ensure an absolute fit and seal, while monel alloy pistons offer outstanding resistance to corrosion, along with smooth, quick, responsive playability. Brass enthusiasts here at Sweetwater concur that the YEP-642TSII’s assertive tone and steadfast intonation are at the top of its class.
Play with perfect intonation
Like most lower brass instruments, euphoniums tend to play slightly sharp in their lower registers. The Yamaha YEP-642TSII Neo counterbalances this by using a compensating valve system and a main tuning slide trigger assembly. A second set of tubing opens when the fourth valve is engaged, allowing you to play low notes with proper intonation. Yamaha’s team of brass engineers also added a main tuning slide trigger, which enables precision adjustments to keep your intonation perfect in any register. The Yamaha YEP-642TSII has a significant performance and tonal advantage over other euphoniums, thanks to its main tuning slide trigger and compensating valve system. You won’t have to employ alternate fingerings in the low register or make micro-adjustments to your tuning slide. Instead, you’ll be able to focus on delivering an expressive performance with your fully chromatic and well-intonated low range.
Yamaha Neo Series brass and woodwinds
Designed with input from renowned euphonium teacher Bill Millar and acclaimed soloist Steven Walsh, Yamaha's Neo Series instruments are crafted for players who desire maximum power, projection, and tonal color. To create these horns, Yamaha began with a clean slate. They crafted numerous prototypes, redesigning each component until they attained what they describe as "the ideal brass band sound." Neo Series instruments can tackle solo or ensemble applications with equal aplomb, while permitting every subtle nuanced dynamic and tonal inflection to shine through. If you're in search of a next-level, professional euphonium, Yamaha's Neo Series is definitely worth your consideration.
