Overview

The Yamaha YSL-446G is an intermediate tenor trombone designed for advancing players who want a medium-bore instrument with an F-attachment. Its .525-inch bore and 8.5-inch gold brass bell offer a practical step up from a beginner trombone without moving to a full .547-inch large-bore model.

This example was owned by a high school student and saw very light use. Before sale, it received full professional service in our shop, including chemical cleaning, slide alignment, rotor service, polishing, and restringing.

Player Perspective

The YSL-446G is a useful option for players who want a warm, centered sound and the added flexibility of an F-attachment while retaining the manageable response of a medium-bore trombone. It can suit advancing students, adult players moving from a larger instrument, and musicians playing in community ensembles, solo settings, or church groups.

Its small-shank receiver also allows players to use familiar mouthpieces such as a Bach 6.5AL or 7C in their small-shank versions.
