Brand new design - A brand new design based on the original YFH-6310Z Bobby Shew Professional Bb flugelhorn.

New trigger system - The newly designed third valve slide trigger is more ergonomic and will accommodate a wider range of hand sizes.

New leadpipe design - The YFH-8310Z features a newly designed leadpipe, outer leadpipe area and a new connection brace between the leadpipe and the valve casing.

New top and bottom valve caps - The new top and bottom valve caps match the YTR-8310Z Bobby Shew Custom Bb trumpet.

Vertical valve tubing - Traditionally, flugelhorns are made with vertical valve tubing.

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.

Hand-lapped pistons and slides - Hand-lapping pistons and slides ensures an absolutely perfect fit and seal between the pistons and casing or slide parts. Such a perfect fit helps to achieve smooth air flow and smooth action and improve the response and intonation of the instrument.
