Yamaha YSH-301 Fibreglass Bb Sousaphone, Clear Lacquer Overview
The Yamaha YSH-301 Fibreglass Sousaphone produces a big, tuba-style sound thanks to its ABS resin bell and fibre-reinforced plastic body. These innovative materials mean that the sousaphone is lightweight and durable, so it's ideal for playing in a marching band. They're also weather-resistant, making it perfect for playing outside and giving a reliable sound.
Experience an easy response and playability. The valves and slides of the YSH-301 go through a hand-lapping finishing process, which creates an airtight fit for the valves, resulting in incredibly responsive action. This makes the sousaphone easy to play - as does the rounded tubing for smoother airflow and less resistance. Project a clear, centred sound with the Yamaha YSH-301.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionLightweight and balanced design
The sousaphone needs to be a large instrument to create such a big sound, but equally it needs to be lightweight so it can be played in marching bands and when standing. That's why Yamaha has opted for a combination of an ABS resin bell and a fibre-reinforced plastic body. The lightweight and balanced feel of this instrument makes it easy to hold and play - so you'll be able to deliver the best performance wherever you are.
Durable materials
The Yamaha YSH-301 Fibreglass Sousaphone will survive the rigours of marching band life thanks to its durable ABS and FRP materials - which are also weather resistant. What's more, the sousaphone features heavy bracing throughout the instrument to improve its durability at vulnerable points. These materials also help to create a brilliant sound and fantastic projection, so you'll find it easy to play outside and produce your desired sound. The striking white and gold design of the fibreglass sousaphone looks stunning too and will look professional in any band.
Smooth playability
Enjoy the easy response and smooth action of the YSH30102. Firstly, the valves and slides are hand-lapped. Hand-lapping is a detailed finishing process used to tighten the valve and piston fit, giving the instrument a great response and accurate pitch. Yamaha has also opted for a pressure-formed tubing technique to ensure that the airflow through the tubes is smooth and the sound is clear. The yellow brass leadpipe helps with the consistency of the sound and adds richness and warmth to the tone.
Everything you need
The Yamaha YSH-301 Fibreglass Bb Sousaphone is designed for the musician on the move. With a SH-43 case, you'll be able to travel to gigs, rehearsals, and band contests with ease. The sousaphone also comes with a Yamaha 67C4 mouthpiece, so you can get playing straight away.
