This Yamaha YG-2500 is a serious instrument for the professional orchestral percussionist. The carbon steel bars provide a pristine, bell-like tone that cuts through an ensemble, and the slightly higher A=443 tuning is a real asset for certain modern scores. It's built like a tank and designed to last a lifetime.
