Yamaha only manufactures top-end bassoons, entierely hand-made by their best skilled craftsmen in their Nagoya custom shop. Their quality compares with the very best German instruments available on the market. Their YFG-812 model features perfect intonation, a maple thick wall body resulting in darker sound that blends perfectly with the modern orchestra, full and authorative with great dynamics encouraging the most subtle phrasing nuances and facilitate performance of difficult passages.

The 4-piece body is made of long-seasoned selected sycamore maple tinted and varnished with ultimate care. The silver-plated key system on this instrument is hand-assembled by experienced craftsmen with emphasis on superior quality and playability. Striving for perfection, the pads are meticulously installed for a most remarkable response and feather like touch. The ergonomics meet the most discerning requirements allowing the player to focus on the music and not on the instrument. 

Due to its thicher body, the YFG-812 generates a rich and complex sound. It is dedicated to musicians striving for a mellow and warm tone yet needing that extra power to perform within a modern symphony orchestra. Its perfect intonation and enhanced playability confirm its ambition of playing in the big leagues.
