Yamaha YSL-456G Tenor Trombone. This is a model that is usually only available in Japan. The U.S. market equivalent is model YSL-446G which sells new today for over $2300. Has 8" Gold brass bell, standard wrap/rotor, with dual bore .500/.525 handslide. Takes standard small shank mouthpiece, same as a starter trombone, but honestly, if moving up in size to a trigger trombone, this would be a good time to advance to a slightly large mouthpiece for a fuller and more robust sound. We always like to recommend the largest mouthpiece that a player feels comfortable on for the type of playing that they do without compromising upper and middle registers. When advancing to a larger mouthpiece, there is always an adjustment period. But, young players are resilient, and adapt quickly, we were all at a similar stage at one point.
This 456G has not had any damage or repairs, single owner well cared for. There is one small ding on the F wrap tubing, which is a very difficult spot to remove without taking the entire wrap apart and resoldering. This small ding definitely will not impact play, feel, or sound. Some lacquer wear around neck receiver, threaded washer area, and handlside grip, otherwise in perfect condition. Includes case, mouthpiece, new batch lubricants for valve and handslide. We did full shop service here, including chemical bath and complete once over. Is ready to play upon delivery, no additional service required. Would make an excellent first trigger horn for an advancing middle or high school student, not ready to take on the much larger .547 bore model. Ideal size for all around play, band, jazz band.
