With all this discussion of 667 and 667V I have to ask
I find my daughter's Yamaha 667 to be really sharp. I mean tuning
slide "way out" sharp, next to my Paxman.
Has anyone else out there noticed that they run a bit sharp and
replaced the 667 leadpipe with something more reasonable ?

Larry's comments are well spoken. None the less, changing the bore of a mouthpiece is not too difficult and can result in effective changes in performance. In the case of Yamaha mouthpieces, most come with a rather small bore, around 4 mm or 22 AWG (American Wire Gage) drill, reflecting their large

Matt,
I own an 868 and play it as my main horn (I'm a college student and it's
also my only horn). Mine is yellow brass with a fixed bell, and I love it.
It does seem to be a little bit smaller wrap than the older 862s and bears,
at least in my mind, a visual resemblence to the Reynolds-Pottag m
I have a 668 (also from the 80s), and my slides don't seem to be pulled out
all that far. It probably wouldn't be a bad idea just to sit with a tuner
for awhile (preferably with someone else looking at it) and see if
everything's lining up. It could just be the horn for that matter.

I wonder about a related topic concerning the valve tuning slides of my
Yamaha 668n (older model, probably from early 1980's).
My typical tuning-slide arrangement is with the main (Bb) and F tuning
slides pulled quite far, but the slides for the individual valves are
pulled very little.

I played a Yamaha 861 for ten years. It is a good, solid, reliable
Geyer copy. You can only buy it used as it is discontinued. The
replacement model is the 667V, with a few design changes. I sold my

Every 567 I've played has been fine. In fact I

series horns. Dollar for dollar I feel it's the
best horn Yamaha makes, and I've heard that from
others, too.
