Yamaha introduces the new YMP-203M lacquer mellophone
Designed and developed with the assistance of the 8-time DCI world champion Cadets of Bergen County, Yamaha is pleased to introduce the new YMP-203M lacquer mellophone (available in silver as the YMP-203MS), which takes the proven quality of the YMP-202M and adds improvements that heighten the instrument's sound.
The YMP-203M introduces a new bell flare design, a first valve slide thumbhook and a second water key that greatly improves drainage. The result is a warm, round tone with plenty of presence and the ability to hold the sound together at all volumes.
"I am most impressed with the new mellophone's ability to project without being overplayed," says Jay Bocook, arranger for the Cadets, DCI co-champions in 2000. "The timbre is perfect for those moving lines that soar over the top of the ensemble. The new instrument also offers better control and intonation thanks to a larger bell and first valve thumb slide. It was clearly one of the keys to our success this past summer!"
Like its predecessor, the YMP-203M features pressure-formed tubing for smoother air flow, precisely honed valves for reduced air leakage, perfectly fit hand-lapped valves and slides, excellent balance, and heavy bracing for increased durability.
"It's exciting to work on a new model with one of the best organizations in marching activity," says Kurt Witt, Wind Instrument product manager, Band & Orchestral Division. "The Cadets' style and sound certainly represent the direction of the overall marching activity, and with their help we've made the new YMP-203M Marching Mellophone an ideal choice for high schools, universities and drum corps everywhere."
