Yamaha Trombones
Yamaha 456GJII James Morrison model Bb/F
In September 1996 James returned to Tooyoka, this time to investigate the development of a trombone to fulfill similar needs for Australian musicians. Of prime importance was the design and performance of the instrument, but another consideration, often overlooked, was the transportation convenience factor. After exhaustive research, the end result is a very fine trombone, with an equally fine compact "shoulder strap" carry case that won't trip up everybody on the bus.

Yamaha Xeno YSL-8220 Professional Trombone
The Xeno features heavier gauge brass and a thick-walled, one-piece brazed bell which has been hand-hammered thousands of times for the ultimate in a big orchestral sound. The open-wrap F section gives a free-blowing response and the entire instrument has an evenness and balance you have to experience to believe. The tone is flexible with myriad tonal colors, and gives you both powerful projection at fortissimo and subtle control in the most delicate passages.
