Designed with Andy Martin and Wycliffe Gordon, this Custom Z Trombone provides supreme tonal flexibility for the serious jazz trombonist.

• 2 interchangeable leadpipes: the NY leadpipe is longer and was developed with Wycliffe Gordon while the LA leadpipe is shorter and was developed with Andy Martin
• One-piece chrome-plated nickel-silver drawn inner slide is very durable and has a quick, sensitive response
• one-piece, drawn, brass outer slide maintains an accurate diameter throughout its length, and this type of construction ensures airtightness, smooth action, and exceptional durability
• A hammered yellow brass bell produces a pure and perfectly-balanced tone with quick response and extra presence due to advanced manufacturing techniques
• Hand-lapping slides ensures an absolutely perfect fit and seal between the slide parts; such a perfect fit helps to achieve smooth air flow and smooth action and improve the response and intonation of the instrument
• Perfectly rounded tubing results in less turbulence and a smoother air flow, thus allowing for an excellent scale and reduced resistance
• A high-energy laser fuses the brass together for a virtually seamless bell which allows continuous even vibrations
• The unique slide lock design on all Yamaha trombones keeps the slide locked in place and keeps it from accidentally falling
• The large, easy-to-hold nickel silver bracing guards against possible slide damage if the instrument is dropped and also lessens fatigue while playing
