Interchangeable Leadpipes

The YSL-891Z comes with 2 interchangeable leadpipes.

NY Type (NY leadpipe)

With a broad taper and a little extra length, this leadpipe passes plenty of breath for fortissimo passages and powerful performances. It features a soft, deep tone that easily fills large concert halls or outdoor spaces.

LA Type (LA leadpipe)

This leadpipe has a gentler taper and is a little shorter than the NY type, providing quick response and easy tonal control. With a focused, bright tone, the LA leadpipe can help to deliver well-defined tone in studio and live-house performance situations.

One-piece bell

A one-piece bell has an axial (lengthwise) seam, making it a continuous extension of the instrument's material. This results in pure, uniform resonance and superior tone.
