Yup - owned one for a couple years around 2001-2003. (an 891) I loved it. It played quite nicely in all registers. The sound was a little on the small side, but it was very flexible. It was tough to get used to the weight of the instrument, but once I did, I had no issues with it.
When I bought it from Chuck Levins, they had 2 and I tried them both (my friend bought the other one). They were very similar. If presented with the opportunity to buy it back, I almost certainly would! (In fact, the gentleman to whom I sold it put it on hornplayer.net this time last year. I was trying to scrounge up the money to buy it back from him then.) Again, I rarely used the high F side, but the double portion of the horn was fabulous. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Luke Zyla Sent: Wednesday, August 15, 2007 11:00 PM To: Horn List Subject: [Hornlist] Yamaha Triple Has anyone played a Yamaha Triple?
