Yamaha - YAH-803S - Neo Alto (Tenor) Horn

The new standard in brass band instruments

We analyzed and re-evaluated every part and component to create an instrument that delivers richer resonance and more expressive depth. It produces a graceful tone that enhances the tenor horn’s presence while delivering the tone color, volume, resistance, and accurate pitch that brass band performers and soloists demand in an instrument.

A heavier valve casing design produces a richer, more authoritative tone.

Mouthpiece receiver & brace

The mouthpiece receiver and brace design produces a moderate amount of resistance and thicker sound when playing, delivering greater projection and expressiveness.
