Re: [Hornlist] Yamaha 668II

Yep - I think the USA website needs updating.  The
main Japan website is more current.  See this page-

http://www.global.yamaha.com

Follow through the instrument links and when you get
to it, choose the global website instead of North
America.

Also look at the Pan-European site - it has a photo in
Yellow Brass.

Maybe I've confused my research but I *think* the
older 668 had engraved valve caps, while the new Mark
II has simple polished caps.  It's too bad Yamaha just
didn't change the model numbers

Hello everyone,
I have a question regarding the Yamaha 668II
 and the Yamaha 
 corporation's publication of it.
I'm gonna order a YHR 668II from my local
 dealer, I checked their 
 catalgue, what it said was (quoting my teacher) YHR
 668 NEW but it never said 
 668II, just 668 NEW. Do you think that means the
 YHR668II is the NEW (replacing 
 the old) 668? So the catalogue said YHR 668 NEW
 meaning the new YHR 668II.
Funny thing, I went to Yamaha's official
 website, and they mention 
 nothing about the new YHR 668II. And when I check
 the listing  of their 
 instruments, it just says YHR 668. 
Can someone help me out, I don't wanna spend
 a lot of money on a NEW 
 (old) 668, when I can buy a real good used one for a
 lesser price. I want this 
 NEW 668 to be the 668II.
 
Thanks,
Mike
 
PS: Sorry, I didn't mean to confuse you all.

My old Yamaha YHR668N has non-engraved valve caps.

My old Alexander 103 (c. 1958) has engraved caps.

I believe the Mirafone folks engraved the valve caps on their their Conn 
28D copies.

Doesn't 1 of the student-line double horns come with engraved valve 
caps?  Jupiter, maybe?

BTW, where would you recommend sending valve caps to have professional 
quality aftermarket custom engraving done?  (Nothing too fancy.  Maybe just 
ornate Roman numerals -- I on the 1st valve cap, II on the 2nd valve cap, 
III on the 3rd valve cap.)
