10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY SCHEME

The product price includes 5 years' warranty and 60 day money back guarantee.

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.

The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:

  • Warranty is extended to 10 years from the date of delivery.
  • Our Money Back guarantee is extended from 60 days to 60 days (terms apply after 60 days)
  • Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty
  • Claim 50% cash back on the cost of the policy after 10 years if it has not been used!
  • Warranty is transferable if the item is re-sold
  • Loan or replacement equipment will be provided if the product isn't repaired within 30 days
  • If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
  • The policy can be cancelled within 30 days, and at any time after that for a pro-rata discount

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Updated features

New and improved developments improve playability and note production. Updated for the first time in 12 years, the new design offers a better tonal definition. The latest YFH-8310Z flugel horns have hollow, barrel-shaped yellow brass leadpipe screws with altered screw threads for superior handling. Additionally, there are new one-piece valve casings, offering greater precision and stability.

Bobby Shew and Yamaha

The YFH-8310Z is the result of a long partnership between Yamaha and American jazz legend Bobby Shew. Mr. Shew has been active on the jazz scene since the 1960s, having played the trumpet with the Woody Herman and Buddy Rich big bands. He went on to be an incredibly popular session musician in Los Angeles and led the Albuquerque Jazz Orchestra.

Noted for his fluid and instinctive improvisational style, Mr. Shew sought a flugelhorn with slick playability and gutsy projection, but also a rich tone and expressive abilities at the soft end of the dynamic range. His unique input, paired with the know-how of Yamaha's best brass engineers, has resulted in a versatile, top-class flugelhorn.

Malone leadpipe

Bob Malone - originally a horn player himself - opened a custom brass shop in Los Angeles in 1983. His original leadpipe design was widely acclaimed and caused trumpeters at the time to throng his shop to have him customise their instruments personally. His designs now retain huge popularity amongst modern musicians due to their brilliant tone and projection.

After Malone joined Yamaha's Research and Development team in 2001, his leadpipe designs have made their way into a number of Custom series instruments and Xeno Artist models. Offering incredible responsiveness and intonation, this unique leadpipe design elevates the playability of the YFH-8310Z enormously.

Custom features

Hand-lapped slides and pistons give a perfect seal between the pistons and casing. This snug fit gives the horn much smoother airflow whilst also improving the intonation and response of the instrument. The Monel pistons are corrosion-resistant, and therefore perfect for retaining a precise fit and perfect action for many years to come. The YFH-8310Z also features a modified third valve trigger, making it far more ergonomic and accommodating of a wider range of hand sizes.

Included extras

The YFH-8310Z comes included with a Yamaha SHEW-FH mouthpiece. This jazz-style mouthpiece has a deep, roomy cup that provides a big, warm sound. The backbore and throat are designed to provide enough “jump and snap” to be able to deftly negotiate quick jazz passages with rich, full tone. Also included is a professional-quality Yamaha flugelhorn case. This sturdy construction is designed to protect your instrument from bangs and scrapes. Its compact size is perfectly suited for carry-on luggage, making it ideal for a musician on the move.

Yamaha 5 Year Extended Warranty

As a premium brand, Yamaha are proud to offer a free five-year extended warranty when the purchase of your instrument is registered within six months of purchase. Please visit the Yamaha website for the full terms and conditions and to register your warranty.
