Yamaha YFH-8310ZII Flugelhorn Overview

The Yamaha YFH-8310ZII Custom Z is a Bb professional flugelhorn designed in collaboration with Bobby Shew, built to deliver quick response and a focused, lyrical flugelhorn voice suited to jazz and commercial playing.

Condition & Setup

Condition: Used (very light use). This YFH-8310ZII is in pristine condition with clean lacquer and excellent cosmetic presentation.

Who the YFH-8310ZII Flugelhorn Is For

The Yamaha YFH-8310ZII is a professional Bb flugelhorn for players who need a responsive jazz-focused instrument with a clear, singing tone and efficient blow. Its small 10.5 mm bore is designed to feel immediate under the fingers and to support detailed articulation and phrasing, making it a strong choice for big band lead/section work, commercial horn lines, and straight-ahead jazz where projection and clarity matter.

What distinguishes this model is its Couesnon-inspired concept combined with Yamaha Custom build consistency: a one-piece yellow brass bell and a medium-weight build that help balance warmth with definition. If you are coming from trumpet and want a flugelhorn that feels nimble while still providing a traditional flugel color, the YFH-8310ZII is an appropriate step-up or primary professional instrument.

Common Questions About The Yamaha YFH-8310ZII

Is the Yamaha YFH-8310ZII suitable for professional use?

Yes. The YFH-8310ZII is a Yamaha Custom-series professional flugelhorn designed with Bobby Shew for professional jazz and commercial performance contexts.

What kind of mouthpiece does it include, and what shank size does it use?

This instrument includes the original Yamaha large-shank SHEWFLUGEL mouthpiece. The YFH-8310ZII is designed for large-shank flugelhorn mouthpieces.

How does the small bore (10.5 mm) affect playing feel and sound?

A 10.5 mm small bore generally increases responsiveness and can make articulation feel more immediate. It also tends to support a more centered, direct sound compared with larger-bore flugelhorns, which can feel broader and more diffuse.

These are awesome shoes - look great really, really white and clean! Love how comfortable they are - and soooo light.

Great shoe, comfort
Size: 11.5, Color: British Tan/Ivry
Love these shoes, they're super comfy. Laces stayed tied all day. I wear them in a business casual environment, or if I'm going out for a nice meal with my wife. They look good, the color is unassuming and neutral. they also elevate my height, I feel like it gives me an inch or so more versus regular shoes. This is my second pair!
