I beg to differ. The wraps are similar except for two major differences. The use of the dual plane valve is one, and the unique wrap of the 1st Bb slide [it enters underneath the 1st F valve slide] are quite substantial I agree. The rest of the wrap is very definitely similar to the normal Geyer style 667.

They are completely different horns. their wraps are not even close to similar Yamaha should have stuck with the 800 designation, like 861 and 867 for their custom horns. Calling 667v is a misnomer. tom in iowa -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Ishizaki Sent: Sat 12/15/2007 9:41 PM To: horn@music.memphis.edu Subject: Re: [Hornlist] Yamaha 667V On Sat, 15 Dec 2007 18:42:22 -0500 "Steve Freides" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Having owned and enjoyed a Yamaha 667 with detachable bell for a while, I > would like to know what the "v" means after the 667. > "v" means "v"alve is somewhat special. In case of 667V, the change valve is a patented Dual Plane Valve. This naming rule is just for Horns, not for other instruments.
