Michael Dease new trombone

Post by HermanGerman »

I just saw Mr. Dease´s new album and wondered which trombone he is playing now. Does not look like a Yamaha YSL 630 I saw him playing last year. This one looks like a screw bell..

Based on the bracing and the counterweight (rather, one of the two counterweights) it looks still to be a Yamaha. Not sure which model though. Yamaha has been experimenting with screw bells.

Pretty sure it’s his 891z. I think I remember seeing something about it on Facebook too.

It is a 891Z. The ring that Yamaha used for the cut was originally meant for my 891Z but by the time they had finished the redesign of it I had switched to a 897Z with a .500 bore slide.

Cool! Is the.500 bore production spec or is it custom for you?

It’s a production horn but I believe you have to order it from a Yamaha dealer. I don’t believe you can try them anywhere. It’s a slide that they make in Japan that goes with the standard 897Z 7.5 in bell. If it’s a size you like it’s a great option and I prefer it to the standard 897Z slide.
