Now the YHR-871IID inherits the extraordinary sound and playability of its predecessor with refinements learned from the development of recent Yamaha professional and custom horns. Close communication with some of the world’s top players plus repeated prototype evaluations have resulted in warmer, more expansive tone and projection that gives artists unprecedented expressive potential. The Yamaha YHR-871IID is a Custom series F\/Bb double French horn built on an orthodox Geyer-style wrap with a detachable medium bell, designed to deliver a rich, deep tonal character with a solid core and consistent resistance across the full range. It combines a 12.1 millimeter bore, a gold brass leadpipe, gold brass tuning-slide inner tubes, and a nickel silver valve casing to support clarity, response, and long-term durability in professional orchestral and studio work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYamaha YHR-871IID Custom Double French Horn Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKey: F\/Bb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Yellow brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWrap style: Geyer style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBell size: Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBell type: Detachable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBore size: 12.1 mm (0.476 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValves: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValve rotors: Solid (4th rotor: hollow)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLever action: String\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeadpipe: Gold brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuning slides: Gold brass inner tubes; rounded main tuning slide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValve casing: Nickel silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccessories: Yamaha HR-32C4 mouthpiece, care kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: Yamaha HRC-801DE case included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition \u0026amp; Setup\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrand new with full manufacturer's warranty.
