I've played a YSL-695 with the .500 bore since 2000! It just feels like an extension of me, completely natural sounding, quick and precise when I need it to be. I love the quickness of the nickel silver slide, but it's very delicate and easy to dent, so it gets worked on at least once a year. It's been a great horn, I love it!
I play the YSL-691 and really like it. Love the lightweight slide. Mine has the 'torpedo' style counterweight - not sure if that makes it older or newer than the one in this video, or what other differences there might be. Nice review, Keith.
Man I always LOVE your demos, you're just a monster of a player... really putting these horns through their paces!

I’ve always enjoyed your playing on all the different horns, I think you sound the best so far on this horn. Very nice job

Thanks for your work! Please make a comparison between Yamaha YSL-891Z and King 3B trombones.
You look right 'at home' playing on this one 😀
Not a bad sounding Yamaha.

Any comments about the YSL897Z?
