YSL-882O Tenor Trombones with F Attachment
The Xeno trombone is crafted with heavier gauge brass and features a thick-walled, one-piece brazed bell that has been hand crafted to deliver a robust orchestral sound. The open-wrap F section allows for a smooth, free-blowing response, while the entire instrument offers exceptional balance and consistency. Its tone is remarkably versatile, providing powerful projection at fortissimo and nuanced control in more delicate passages offering a truly dynamic and rich playing experience.

Features
Lever Action
The lever action has been upgraded with a shorter stroke that affords improved operability. Other refinements include a double torsion spring that contributes to consistent lever operation, and double ball bearings that reduce the need for maintenance and make maintenance easy when it does become necessary.
Bell
The YSL-882OII's bell is the same slightly oversized 220 millimeter (8-2/3 inch) type that is standard on Xeno trombones.
* The detachable bell on the YSL-882ODII is similar to the YSL-882OII one-piece bell, but separates at the base of the flare.
Open Wrap F Attachment
The F attachment features a gentle open wrap that minimizes changes in blowing resistance when the F attachment is used, for freer, more uniform overall playing feel and resistance.
Narrow slide
A yellow-brass narrow slide contributes to smooth, delicate tone that is also clear and well defined. Other advantages include comfortable playing resistance plus ample power and brilliance.
Balancer
The balancer is a compact design that helps to deliver well-focused sound.
Detachable Bell (YSL-882ODII)
Not only does a detachable bell allow more compact storage, but the added weight of the bell screw section helps to produce a tighter sound with improved directionality.

Invaluable development support was provided by Peter Sullivan, Principal Trombone with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Professor of Trombone, Cleveland Institute of Music and Carnegie Mellon University.
“I always believed it was necessary to have multiple instruments of different brands to cover a variety of playing situations. Since I have been using a Xeno trombone I have found that it is the only instrument I need. The main reasons are that it is warm, clear, and can adapt to any situation!”
