Yamaha YBL-835D Unboxing Video

When Yamaha's new YBL-835 bass trombones were announced at NAMM 2023 we were understandably excited; while Yamaha trombones have been a staple for many years it has been a while since we have seen new designs from them. While their introduction certainly indicated that they were approaching their new bass with modern conception (offering bell material and cut bell options), how all of their external and internal tweaks would actually affect the trombone was hard to evaluate until we had the trombone in hand.
After unboxing our first 835D we were very impressed; due to a number of airflow changes in the bell section it had a very different blow, stability, connectivity and presence then it's predecessors, as well as offering a full, resonant and open sound with a combination of stability and color! We enjoyed our first experience but let us know what you think!
