This is the pre-cursor to the YEB-632S, which has a few modifications. Please email for photos and with any questions.

Sorry, I don't know my Yamaha numbers; is this the top-action or side-action valves?

[iiipopes]

Isn't this the model with 4-up non-comp valves?

It's a copy of the Besson with a 17" bell BE980.
Same bore, 3+1 compensating.
It's a very nice horn and it's the first one I've seen for sale in about 6 years.

Thanks. I must have been thinking of the 3XX series, with the 3 in the model number. Pix?

[jaccuardi]

Yes, Sylvano is correct this is the Besson Copy of the BE980.
3+1 Compensating.
Great horn!

Other than slightly different compensating loops layout, it's the same bore size, taper and bell size. I had my friend's 631S for few months to compare with my 981 and an older B&H Imperial. The Besson 981 plays better but I like the smaller sound of the 631.
