Yamaha YEP-642 Series Compensating Euphonium
Solid construction and space age materials combine to make the YEP-642 Series a wonderfully playing instrument. The 642 Series has a larger bell flare and large shank mouthpiece receiver to produce a gorgeous, colorful sound that stands apart from most other instruments. You will really enjoy the experience of playing this instrument.


Monel Pistons
Monel pistons are resistant to corrosion and are an ideal choice for professional instruments which must retain precise fit and smooth action over many years.

Hand-Lapped Valves and Slides
Hand-lapping valves and slides ensures an absolutely perfect fit and seal between the valve pistons and casing or slide parts. Such a perfect fit helps to achieve smooth air flow and smooth action and improve the response and intonation of the instrument.

Pressure Formed Tubing
Perfectly rounded tubing results in less turbulence and a smoother air flow, thus allowing for an excellent scale and reduced resistance.

Hand-Hammered Silver Plated Brass Bell
A hand-hammered silver plate brass bell produces a slightly more intense tone with a pure, perfectly-balanced tone with quick response and extra presence.

Compensating System
The compensating system found on the YEP-642S ensures accurate tuning on all notes throughout the instrument's range, particularly in the difficult low range.

Bell Taper and Leadpipe
The combination of the bell taper and leadpipe is designed for greater projection, control and response.

Intonation
True and centered intonation makes this outstanding design even better.
