Before You Play

Handling the Instrument
The instrument is made of a thin metal so please handle it with care. Do not apply any
excessive force to the instrument, or bump it in a manner that will dent or damage it.

Attaching the Screw-On Bell

2. Move the levers so that the oil is spread

evenly.

When attaching the screw-on bell, always hold

the bell by its mid section and assemble. Do
not over-tighten.

Attaching the Mouthpiece

Gently insert the mouthpiece into the
mouthpipe.

Lubrication
Oiling the Rotors
1.

While holding the levers down, remove the

valve slides then apply rotor oil to the rotors as shown in the illustration below (a
few drops per rotor).
* Never force the mouthpiece into the
mouthpipe. The mouthpiece may become
stuck in the mouthpipe.

* Apply oil if the lever does not work

smoothly.
* When applying oil, do not let the oil mix
with the slide grease adhering to the valve
slides interior.

Tuning
Use the main tuning slide to make sure that the instrument is in tune before playing.
Since temperature has an effect on the instruments pitch, blow some warm air through
it to warm it up before tuning.The amount of tuning slide adjustment needed to get the
horn in tune will vary between individuals so there is no standard rule to follow
(however, at 68F pulling the main tuning slide out about 0.6 should more or less tune
the instrument to A=442Hz).
Take notice that when temperatures are warmer, the main tuning slide should be pulled
out a little more, while cooler temperatures will require that you push the slide in. Also,
the position and angle of your right hand in the bell will have an influence on pitch as
well.

Single Horns

Double Horns

Slide the main tuning slide in or out to tune the

instrument.

1.

Use the main tuning slide to tune the Bb side.

* Instruments with a Bb tuning slide should

tune with the main tuning slide as well.

2. Use the F tuning slide to tune the F side of

the instrument.

Tuning
3. Pull out each of the valve slides between 1/
5-2/5 inch. When pulling out the slides,
make sure that the lever corresponding to
the slide is depressed.

4. When the hand stopping technique is used,

the 4th valve on the YHR-332 lets you use
regular fingerings in combination with this
technique. Also, when setup as shown in
the illustration below, it can be used in the
same way as the 2nd valve, lowering the
pitch a half-step.

* What is Gestopft or hand stopping?

This is a technique used on F Single or
Double Horns(using F side) where the
hand is placed further into the bell to raise
the horns pitch by a half-step and change
the tone of the instrument. But doing so
requires the player to transpose the score
down a half step to produce the correct
pitch. The 4th valve on the YHR-322
compensates for the difference in pitch
when using the hand stop technique, so
you can read the score as is and still get
the correct pitch.

Maintenance
Caring for your instrument after playing
To keep your instrument both looking and playing well, make sure you take proper
care of it after you have finished playing. When caring for the instrument, place it
on a table or, hold it securely in your hands, taking care not to drop it.
Valve Slide Maintenance

Body Maintenance

1.

Use a polishing cloth to gently wipe the

instruments surface. If dirt or tarnish is obvious, the following products can be used.

Remove the valve slides to remove any

moisture.

* Removing the valve slide without holding the

corresponding lever down creates a drop in
air pressure within the pipe, creating a
suction that can result in poor rotor function
or damage to the inside of the pipe.

2. If the instrument has a water key, remove

moisture from the water key too.

For lacquer finishes

Polishing cloth + lacquer polish
For silver plate
Silver cloth + silver polish

For a beautiful shine, buff the instrument with

a silicone cloth.

Once a Week Maintenance

Rotor Maintenance

1.
* The valve slides are made of brass or
nickel silver, which are both excellent at
resisting corrosion. However, corrosion
may appear if moisture is left in the
instrument for an extended period of time.
Please use caution.

Remove the cap on the rotor valve and apply a little rotor spindle oil to the rotor bearings.

* After applying the oil, remove the excess

oil. After applying oil, replace the cap and
move the lever a few times to distribute the
oil evenly.

Maintenance
2. Apply a little rotor spindle oil to the rotor
spindle and receiver.

Once or Twice a Month Maintenance

Valve Slide Maintenance

1.

Depress the valve levers and remove the

valve slides.

3. Apply a little lever oil to each linkage of the

lever assembly.

2. Wrap a cleaning rod with a gauze cloth leaving no bare metal exposed, and remove dirt
from the valve slides and the insides of the
outer pipes.

* Remove excess oil and use a gauze cloth to

clean the smaller parts.

3. Use the gauze to remove dirt from the surface of the valve slide, then apply a little
slide grease.

4. Slide the valve slide in and out a few times

to distribute the grease evenly. Then wipe
off any extra grease that comes off the slide.

Maintenance
Twice Yearly Maintenance

4. After completely removing all moisture with

a gauze, apply oil and grease.

Cleaning the Instrument

1.

Prepare a brass soap water solution using

between 10 to 15 parts warm water (78F to
88F) and 1 part brass soap. Before putting
the instrument into the solution, remove the
valve slides.

2. Apply some soap water solution to the brush

on the end of flexible cleaner and use the
cleaner to clean the inside of the instruments
tubing.

3. After

cleaning the instrument, use clean

water to thoroughly rinse out the dirt and
soap.

Take Care When Cleaning Inside of the Instrument

Never dismantle the rotors. Also, when rinsing
the tubing with water, run water through the
main tuning slides in the opposite direction of
the airflow. If water is run through the instrument from the mouthpiece, dirt can become
clogged in the valves causing the valves to become sluggish.

5.

Apply some soap water solution to a mouthpiece brush and insert it into the throat to
clean the mouthpiece, then thoroughly rinse
it out with clean water.

Switching the 4th Lever Function

F/Bb Double Horn
The Yamaha double horn is designed so that it normally plays in the key of F (open F) when the 4th
lever is not depressed, and in the key of Bb when the 4th lever is depressed. However, by re-configuring the linkage as shown in the illustration below, this function can be reversed so that the horn plays
in Bb (open Bb) when the lever is not depressed, and in the key of F when the lever is depressed.
To use this setup, move the string and the string seat, then place the string over the string seat.
