The YFH-8310Z combines the tonal richness and depth of character of the older traditional flugels with the easy playability and superb intonation made possible by high-tech engineering.
Inspired by legendary artist Bobby Shew, the Z features the perfect amount of air resistance to let you color the sound-your sound-exactly the way you want to. And it slots so nicely in the upper register you’ll forget you’re playing a flugelhorn.

Features
Trigger system
The third valve slide trigger is ergonomically designed and accommodates a wider range of hand sizes.
Leadpipe
The YFH-8310Z (and its variant models) features a redesigned leadpipe, and a connection tube between the leadpipe and the valve casing.
Monel pistons
Monel pistons are resistant to corrosion and are an ideal choice for professional flugelhorn pistons which must retain precise fit and smooth action over many years.
