YAMAHA YAC REP Replica Series Douglas Yeo Bass Trombone Mouthpiece

At our R&D Ateliers, Yamaha has been producing special custom-made mouthpieces for hundreds of the world's top players for many years, a fact that is little known outside professional circles. These artists were not satisfied with any commercial models available, and they came to us because they had confidence that if anyone had the skill needed to create their own 'dream' mouthpiece, it was Yamaha. The players knew from the experience gained in their long careers exactly the kind of sound and response they wanted, and our technicians knew from their long experience in crafting instruments how to deliver it.

The custom-made mouthpieces feature a 28.72mm inner rim diameter, a semi-flat rim contour, a semi-thin rim thickness, and a semi-deep cup. The large symphonic size cup gives a big, rich sound, with a full, centered tone that has a focused core and brilliant, well-defined overtones.

These mouthpieces are the result of a collaboration between the world's top players and Yamaha's skilled technicians. The players bring their expertise and desired sound in mind, while the technicians leverage their extensive experience in crafting instruments to create the perfect mouthpiece. This partnership has allowed Yamaha to produce custom-made mouthpieces that meet the exacting standards of the most discerning musicians.

The fact that Yamaha has been offering this service for many years, yet it remains little known outside of professional circles, speaks to the exclusive and specialized nature of this offering. It's a testament to Yamaha's commitment to supporting the world's top musicians and their quest for the perfect sound.

In the end, these custom-made mouthpieces are not just products, but rather a reflection of the deep collaboration between artists and craftsmen. They are the embodiment of the shared passion and expertise that exists within the world of professional music, and they represent Yamaha's unwavering dedication to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in musical instrument design and performance.
