■ Special Steel Alloy, High Quality Tone Bars
Yamaha's metallurgical engineers developed a special
steel alloy for the glockenspiels tone bars. The tone bars
are designed with sufficient width and thickness and
highly evolved metallurgical know-how to produce a
clear tone with abundant sustain and ample volume. The
instruments tone will even reach the back of large halls or
auditoriums.
■ Easy to Play, Single Pin Design
The tone bars are held to the frame with a single pin
design which reduces the chance of inaccuracy in
performance and unwanted movement of the tone bars.
■ Stable Tuning
The tone bars are tuned under strict temperature and
humidity conditions to provide bars with stable pitch.
■ Nodal string mounting system
delivers optimum sound
This mounting system minimizes the
amount of surface to surface contact at the
tone bars' nodal mounting point by
placing a twisted string between the tone
bar and the felt. The use of this system
results in the nearly total elimination of
noise plus greater resonance and purer
tone.
■ Rugged, Easy to Play Design
• The rugged frame is designed to resist shock.
• The case is designed to deliver optimum tone and
volume from the glockenspiel.
• The case is also designed so that the handle and locks
are not an obstruction while the instrument is being
played.
• To make the instrument as compact as possible, the
YG-250D/50D frame and case are designed as a single
unit.
■ Aesthetic Design
• The chrome plate finish on the tone bars resists
tarnishing.
• The YG-250D/50D also use a chrome plate finish on
their tone bars that resists tarnishing and offers
improved tone.
• The tone bars are finished with a matte finish which
reduces glare from lights and eliminates eye strain.
