Easy Height Adjustment
The unique compressed gas spring support system allows quick and easy height adjustment by a single person. This is especially useful in schools or ensembles where more than one musician will use the same instrument.
Portability
The frames have been superbly crafted of beautiful natural-finish wood and strong lightweight metal. They are designed to make transport as easy as a possible and can be quickly dismantled and reassembled. The one-piece design resonators fold in the middle for easy packing or assembly, and the streamlined end pieces with 4 (100mm) casters permit smooth maneuvering through doorways.

- Exclusive Yamaha tuning method ensures true pitch and full sound.
