A Custom Bugle with a "Vintage" Spirit, Born from an Artist Collaboration
Developed in close collaboration with Bobby Shew, the Yamaha YFH-8310Z aims for a "vintage"-styled sound signature: a rich, warm, and expressive timbre, while maintaining what makes Yamaha brass instruments renowned: playing comfort, consistency, and intonation. The modern manufacturing approach results in a coherent, stable instrument ready for the demands of today's stages, without sacrificing the warm grain expected from a great bugle.
For Which Musicians and Styles?
The YFH-8310Z is intended for advanced and professional musicians seeking an expressive bugle capable of standing out both in a section and as a solo instrument. Its character is particularly suited to jazz (club, big band, lead bugle), but it remains highly relevant in pop, film music, studio settings, and contexts where a round, velvety, and singing tone with controlled intonation is desired.
Sound and Design
This B-flat bugle emphasizes roundness and fluidity. The yellow brass bell (one piece) promotes a warm sound and beautiful homogeneity, while the S 10.5 mm bore provides controlled resistance: present enough to "catch" the air and shape the attack, yet free enough to maintain a flexible feel. The piston block, a central element of response, has been optimized in its materials and spacers to improve breath efficiency and achieve ideal resistance.
The cylindrical brass leadpipe screw facilitates tuning and contributes to better tonal definition. Its thumbwheel is comfortable to handle, and its hollow design adds to a freer sensation. The instrument also features a MalonePipe leadpipe : shorter, with a tapered section, it enhances high register stability, ease of sound production, and intonation, while retaining a soft and expressive color.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Delivered with an FH-SHEW mouthpiece and an FHC-8310 case, the YFH-8310Z is ready to play immediately. For maintenance, a brass cleaning kit (brushes + cloth) and slide grease are useful additions to preserve the instrument's smoothness and longevity.
