This Yamaha YBH-301M marching baritone is a true DCI-style horn, designed for performance on the field with a centered tone and excellent projection. This example has been fully serviced here at The Brass Exchange, including a chemical bath, new pads and felts, and a complete mechanical check.
A few small dings remain in hard-to-reach areas but do not affect playability or tone. The lacquer shows some natural wear from use, yet the instrument remains straight, clean, and dependable — ready to play right out of the case.
Includes mouthpiece and a durable Yamaha case. Ideal for marching baritone players, trombonists adapting to valves, or band programs seeking a quality field-ready instrument at excellent value.
A new YBH-301M sells for over $2,200 today — this one offers genuine Yamaha quality at a fraction of the price.
