Constructed with lightweight, band program-friendly materials

Yamaha knows that protecting a school-issued sousaphone is of primary importance. To prevent catastrophic damage on the first day of marching band, the company outfitted the YSH-301 with an ABS resin bell and a fiberglass-reinforced plastic body. This stellar blend of materials resists damage much better than brass does. It’s also incredibly lightweight, meaning younger students can easily navigate the field while carrying it. Crafted with smaller, younger marching band musicians in mind, the YSH-301 sousaphone is expertly balanced for comfort and ease of use, empowering students to deliver their best performances while maintaining proper form.

Pressure-formed tubing and supportive bracing

The YSH-301 sousaphone utilizes pressure-formed tubing, a testament to its commitment to exceptional sound quality. This perfectly rounded tubing minimizes turbulence and ensures a smooth airflow, resulting in reduced resistance and increased clarity and precision. The YSH-301 also features heavy bracing throughout its body; its vulnerable points are reinforced to withstand the physical demands of the marching arts. Rest assure, with the YSH-301, students will take the field with comfort and confidence.

Yamaha: a tradition of excellence

Whether they’re building motorcycles, microchips, or marimbas, Yamaha’s commitment to quality is unmatched. And there’s no other product category that exemplifies the Yamaha difference than the brass instruments. Yamaha horns feature thoughtful and innovative engineering. And, each one is subjected to the strictest quality control measures before being released from their workshop. Yet, to be deemed truly excellent by Yamaha, these masterfully crafted pieces of art must light a fire of joy and passion in the player’s heart. Whichever Yamaha horn you choose, you can expect it to live up to those lofty expectations.
