Designed under the guidance of top professionals, such as  Peter Sullivan, Alain Trudel and Thomas Horch, the Yamaha YSL-882O Xeno Series Bb/F trombone features a .547" bore, fixed gold brass leadpipe, 8-11/16" one-piece hand hammered bell, drawn yellow brass one-piece outer slide, drawn chrome-plated nickel silver inner slide, open F attachment wrap and gold lacquer finish.

The Xeno features a heavier gauge brass and a thick-walled, one-piece brazed bell which has been hand-hammered thousands of times for ultimate projection and 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 experiment 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.

A one-piece bell has an axial (lengthwise) seam, making it a continuous extension of the instrument's material. This results in pure, uniform resonance and superior tone. The bell is additionally larger, 8 2/3" in diameter, which in combination with other design improvements to produce a singing, colorful open sound with a projecting solid core. Its open wrap F attachment has an open feel and quick response while the F attachment is engaged.

The YSL-8820 also features a narrow slide, for enhanced velcity, allowing the player to get around the horn easier, and a rounded slide crook. Eliminating sharp turns in the crook opens the feel and response of the instrument. It has an adjustable thumb paddle, a counter balance weight, mechanical rotor linkage, a slide lock, pressure-formed tubing, and a compact contoured case.
