Brass iguanas soldered to the bell are junk. It's all mental.
However, I swear by this method: solder a brass chameleon to your third valve slide. Instant results. Sounds like Deck.

Is it hand hammered?bloke wrote:I'm considering (as have so many others) soldering a brass iguana to the bell of my Yamaha YCB-826S.
I'm just wondering how others of you have benefited (or not) from having done this.
Thanks in advance !

Not really worth it unless it can be made into a moving part.

Actually, a gecko soldered on the bell next to the thumb ring makes a great way to rest your palm.
