Yamaha YSL-350C Tenor Trombone
The compact trombone allows beginning students to play certain notes without having to extend the slide beyond their reach.
Many children are fascinated by the trombone. It has a strong and pleasing tone which can slide smoothly from note to note, and it's visually exciting--it looks fun! But unlike most other instruments, most trombones cannot be played by small children. Modern trombones were designed for adults, and many would-be beginners just can't stretch their arms far enough to play all the slide positions. That's why we created the Yamaha 350C. This is a full-sized trombone, using the traditional slide positions, but it's much shorter in length. With its ascending valve, you can play a full scale without using the two farthest positions!

Features
Not Only for Kids
The 350C is not only for small children; it is also suitable for adults. Your child outgrow the instrurment - you won't need to buy a model.
Big Sound
The 8 inch bell is full-sized -the same as on our standard trombones- and made of gold brass for an exceptionally warm and round tone.
How it Works
The secret of this revolutionary design is the ascending valve. When played ‘open' the trombone uses the full length of Bb tubing. When the lever pressed the key of the instrument ascends a step, which eliminates the need for 6th and 7th slide positions.
Easy to Use
Conventional trombones are long, awkward instruments. The 350C is not only shorter, but has considerably improved balance, making it easier and more comfortable to hold.
Slide positions
Identical to a standard trombone's positions so there is no need to learn new positions.
Ascending Bb / C rotor
The rotor allows the player to use alternate positions without having to reach extended slide positions.
Inner slide
The chrome-plated nickel-silver inner slide is very durable and has a quick, sensitive response.
Outer slide
The one-piece drawn yellow brass outer slide maintains an accurate diameter throughout its length and this type of construction ensures, airtightness, smooth action, and exceptional durability and adds resonance to the sound.
Inner slide stockings
Specially designed one-piece inner slide stockings guarantees airtight slide construction, offer smoother slide action and better alignment.
Tubular braces
Long-lasting nickel-silver tubular braces contribute to the stability of the slide and enhance smooth slide action.
Pressure-formed tubing
Perfectly rounded tubing results in less turbulence and a smoother air flow, thus allowing for an excellent scale and reduced resistance.
Laser-fused pluzuma welded bell
A high-energy laser fuses the brass together for a virtually seamless bell which allows continuous even vibrations.
Slide lock
The unique slide lock design on all Yamaha trombones keeps the slide locked in place and keeps it from accidentally falling.
Bracing
The large, easy-to-hold nickel silver bracing guards against possible slide damage if the instrument is dropped and also lessens fatigue while playing.
Mouthpiece
Yamaha trombones have mouthpipes featuring special acoustic designs allowing for precise intonation and greater blowing control.
