The Yamaha YHR-672 series full double horns combine traditional craftsmanship with modern enhancements, offering a rich, warm tone and exceptional playability. Available in both fixed-bell (YHR-672) and detachable-bell (YHR-672D) versions, these instruments share the same extra-large bell design that produces a deep, powerful sound ideal for solo and ensemble performance.

The fixed-bell YHR-672 delivers a classic one-piece bell response, while the detachable model adds the convenience of a detachable bell for easier transport and storage.

Custom-inspired leadpipe design

To produce rich overtones and a timbre with impressive depth, the taper shape is based on the legendary YHR-862 custom horn, which is widely considered to be a masterpiece in design. Ideal playing resistance offers players expressive control and tonal flexibility.

Short-stroke 4th lever mechanism

Engineered for speed and comfort, the redesigned short-stroke 4th valve lever allows fast, fluid transitions between the Bb and F sides. This lets musicians concentrate on their musical performance.
