Re: [Hornlist] Yamaha 667V in Nickel Silver?
I play a 667 VSL. V stands for Yamaha's patented "dual plane" valve, S for screwbell, and L for lacquer. My horn is yellow brass with nickle-silver trim. However, I have seen this model illlustrated as if it were all nickle-silver and described as having a nickle-silver bell. ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
[Hornlist] Yamaha 667V in Nickel Silver?
Has anyone seen or heard of this? I was only ever under the impression that they were made in yellow brass. I recently saw that a few stores are offering this in Nickel Silver?! Is that right or are they just wrong? The pictures look like they could have been from the same source and they look like they could have been the yellow brass and the picture was then made into grayscale making it look nickel silver. The model number appears as: 667VSL To me, I always thought that the: V stood for their custom/symphony model S stood for "Screwbell" And L stood for Lacquer Finish. Insight? I went ahead and actually purchased the horn for a couple reasons - 1 - the price was stupidly cheap (just over $2K for a "new" but scratch and dent version from a reputable dealer) 2 - The unit has a 45 day return period with no restocking (only the cost to ship back) 3 - even if it doesn't float my boat, I could fix it up from "scratch and dent" and resell it for a bit more. Thoughts? Suggestions? Cheers! Jeremy ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
