• Nickel silver inner and outer slides
  The use of nickel silver inner and outer slides ensures better fit and less chance of corrosion because nickel-silver is harder and more durable than brassHoned valves
  The precise fit between valve casings and pistons after honing means no air leakagePressure-formed tubing
  Perfectly rounded tubing results in less turbulence and a smoother air flow, thus allowing for an excellent scale and reduced resistanceLaser-fused plasma-welded bell
  A high-energy laser fuses the brass together for a virtually seamless bell which allows continuous, even vibrations

  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

• Yamaha is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of French horns, and the YHR-302M shares many of the same warm tonal colors as our concert models. But more than a traditional French horn, the 302M has been designed to project its rich tonal colors across the marching field; we’ve added strength to the natural beauty of its sound.
