Yamaha YCB-861
Posted: Mon May 21, 2007 10:16 am
This is a large 4/4 horn. The S/N is 1000144. It is an early model and there are no markings on the horn other than the serial & model numbers on the bar where the valves are mounted.
I purchased this horn from Dillon’s about 4 years ago. The bell had been wrinkled and Matt Walters did an excellent job of rolling it out. There are the usual dents on the bottom bow and I would estimate the lacquer is about 75-80% in tact.
I have had the 5th valve slide extended to a flat two whole steps (2nd & 3rd valve combination). The horn has the ususal intonation issue in the 5th partial. But it's easy to work with.
The price is $4,500.00 firm and includes the original Yamaha hard case and a Reunion Blues gig bag. I am willing to discuss the shipping costs. The horn is located near Los Angeles in the San Fernando Valley.
