The 567 is an outstanding horn and great value for its price.

About Yamaha Intermediate Horns

Yamaha Intermediate Horns feature a wrap that provides more comfortable hand positioning and smooth airflow. Improved response and intonation is provided by the taper design on the gold-brass leadpipe. The nickel-silver inner and outer slides provide a superior fit with less chance of corrosion. The tapered valve design will provide long wear and protection against leakage. An adjustable 4th rotor thumb lever accommodates any size hand. A well placed water key provides efficient water drainage.

YHR-567 Model Options

Yamaha offers a number of variable options for select instruments.

Features
