Euphonium YEP-202MS (Available August 2023)
This marching instrument offers the full deep tone of a concert euphonium thanks to the large bore bell throat. The entire design has been reinvented through countless evaluations with leading players, resulting in an instrument which is balanced to hold and easy to play. In addition to the powerful tonal projection, the 202MS features new hybrid valve guides for smooth action requiring less maintenance.
Well balanced
All Yamaha marching instruments are well-balanced so they are easy to hold and maneuver while marching.
Hand-fitted valves and slides
Hand-fitting valves and slides 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 the instrument.
Laser-fused plasma-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.
