Yamaha YBH-301MS Bb Marching Baritone Horn

The YBH-301MS/301M is ideal for DCI style marching ensembles. It can add a unique voice to your band, darker than a trombone yet brighter than a euphonium, a very rich and strong sound. In addition, the 301MS/301M is a well-balanced instrument, making it easier to play, and easier to maneuver with in formations.

Well balanced

All Yamaha marching instruments as well-balanced, so they are easy to hold maneuver while marching.

Hand-fitted valves and slides

Hand-fitted ensures an absolutely perfect fit and seal between the valve pistons and casing or slide parts. Such a fit helps to achieve smooth air flow and smooth action, and improves the response and intonation of thee instrument.

Laser-fused pluzuma-welded bells

A high-energy laser fuses the brass together for a virtually seamless bell, which results in continuous, even vibrations.

Pressure-formed tubing

The perfectly rounded tubing results in less turbulence and a smoother air flow, thus making possible an excellent scale and reduced resistance.

Heavy bracing

All Yamaha marching instruments have heavy bracing throughout, so they are more durable at vulnerable points and can withstand the rigors of use in a marching band.

1st valve thumbhook

All marching brass (except for the YEP-201M) feature a 1st valve thumbhoook for intonation adjustments.
