YSL-882OII Tenor Trombones with F Attachment
The Xeno features heavier gauge brass and a thick-walled, one-piece brazed bell which has been hand-hammered thousands of times for the ultimate in a big orchestral sound. The open-wrap F section gives a free-blowing response and the entire instrument has an evenness and balance you have to experience to believe. The tone is flexible with myriad tonal colors, and gives you both powerful projection at fortissimo and subtle control in the most delicate passages. This may well be the most expressive orchestral style trombone ever created.

Features
Lever Action
The lever action has been upgraded with a shorter stroke that affords improved operability. Other refinements include a double torsion spring that contributes to consistent lever operation, and double ball bearings that reduce the need for maintenance and make maintenance easy when it does become necessary.
Bell
The YSL-882OII's bell is the same slightly oversized 220 millimeter (8-2/3 inch) type that is standard on Xeno trombones.
* The detachable bell on the YSL-882ODII is similar to the YSL-882OII one-piece bell, but separates at the base of the flare.
Open Wrap F Attachment
The F attachment features a gentle open wrap that minimizes changes in blowing resistance when the F attachment is used, for freer, more uniform overall playing feel and resistance.
Narrow slide
A yellow-brass narrow slide contributes to smooth, delicate tone that is also clear and well defined. Other advantages include comfortable playing resistance plus ample power and brilliance.
Balancer
The balancer is a compact design that helps to deliver well-focused sound.
Detachable Bell (YSL-882ODII)
Not only does a detachable bell allow more compact storage, but the added weight of the bell screw section helps to produce a tighter sound with improved directionality.

Development Artist
Peter Sullivan
Invaluable development support was provided by Peter Sullivan, principle trombone with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Professor of Trombone, Cleveland Institute of Music and Carnegie Mellon University.
“I always believed it was necessary to have multiple instruments of different brands to cover a variety of playing situations. Since I have been using a Xeno trombone I have that it is the only instrument I need. The main reasons are that it is warm, clear, and can adapt to any situation!”
The colors and finishes shown may vary from those on the actual products.
