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 rests or moves, depending on the size of the
player's hand.
Case: Yamaha 'suitcase' in good condition.
Weight: 2.52 kg
Further details: this horn is being sold on behalf of Gerry
Birch Music Services; it has very recently been fully
overhauled and serviced in the GBMS workshop.
With 'all the notes in all the right places' and an
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e.g. the Yamaha 667 (which superseded the 663),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.
