YSL897Z CA Custom Z Series Trombone Designed with Alastair Kay Excels in Any Studio and Big Band Performance Situation.

TORONTO, ON - Yamaha Canada Music Ltd debuts the YSL89ZCA Tenor Trombone. Designed exclusively for the Canadian market with renowned trombonist Alastair Kay, the YSL-897ZCA features fixed leadpipe and slide tolerance from the 697Z with an updated bell section, giving players the flexibility to cover different styles and offering a wide range of tonal colors.

With its compact, well-centered tone and quick response, the YSL-897ZCA is suitable for all types of trombone performances. Long-lasting nickel-silver tubular braces contribute to the stability of the slide and enhance smooth slide action. Hand-lapped slides ensure an absolutely perfect fit and seal between the slide parts. Such an ideal fit helps to achieve smooth airflow and even action while improving the response and intonation of the instrument.

“The YSL-897ZCA Tenor Trombone combines Yamaha affordability with custom-made, boutique quality,” said Geoff Houghton, Winds Marketing Manager, Yamaha Canada Winds, Strings & Percussion Department. “It records beautifully and has a great projection for solos. It is truly an exciting new voice for jazz and commercial trombonists.”

The YSL-897ZCA Tenor Trombone comes with an MSRP of $2995 and is available for immediate delivery.
