YAMAHA 663 with detachable bell
£1,100.00
Maker: YAMAHA, Japan
Model: YHR-663
Type: F/Bb full double
Serial number 000485
Bell throat profile: medium
Alloy: yellow brass, its formerly worn lacquer
professionally stripped and the brass surfaces
polished to a gleaming finish.
Bell flare: detachable.
Valve compression: very good.
Water key, conventional type, on the leadpipe.
Silver-plated Holton Farkas MDC mouthpiece.
Overall condition: generally very good. Just above the
thumb lever there is a small oval patch on the inner curve
of the bell tail. This is 'cautionary' rather than 'remedial',
simply strengthening the brass in an area where the
thumb touches or rubs against it, depending on the
size of the player's hand.
Case: Yamaha 'suitcase' in good condition.
Weight: 2.52 kg
Further details: I am selling this excellent horn on
behalf of Gerry Birch Music Services. It was recently
fully overhauled and serviced in the GBMS
workshop in South East Kent, UK, where it can be
seen and tried.
With 'all the notes in all the right places' and a
notably clear, ringing sound, brighter than that of
e.g. the Yamaha 667 (which superseded the 663),
this excellent, inexpensive horn is ideal for a young,
improving player who is upgrading from a
single or a 'mini’ horn.
The photos can be viewed in greater detail
by opening and saving them.
