Yamaha YHR-672: A Must-Play for Professionals

When it comes time to choose a professional-level horn, auditioning the Yamaha YHR-672 is essential. This double horn masterfully blends the classic Kruspe wrap design with Yamaha’s modern innovations to create an instrument that’s both inspiring and responsive.

Designed with the same leadpipe found on the esteemed YHR-862 Custom Horn, the YHR-672 offers exceptional playability. Yamaha then takes it further with an extra-large bell, providing a rounder, warmer, and more complex tone than what’s typically achievable with standard bells.

Players appreciate the unsoldered bell rim, which enhances resonance and contributes to the horn’s open, free-flowing feel. The square tuning crook adds focused resistance, while the short-stroke thumb lever ensures fast, seamless transitions between the F and Bb sides.

Whether you prefer a screw bell or fixed bell, in yellow brass or nickel silver, the Yamaha YHR-672 offers outstanding performance and remarkable value — making it a standout choice for serious horn players.
