ThumbnailThis is the yellow brass version of Yamaha's famous Kruspe copy, the 668.  These fine horns have extra-large bells - to make that 'Hollywood' sound - and, obviously, are in the Kruspe wrap.  Usually one finds them in nickel-silver, and, more rarely, in yellow brass like this one.  Having compared them in the two metals, we can't say that we could notice any difference!  They both played extremely well with a BIG, fat middle register sound, notchy, secure high register, and full, throaty lower register.

This instrument is in excellent condition and is lacquered - there are some very small areas of lacquer wear - and comes with a hard, black Yamaha case, also in great condition.

It plays superbly.
