I bought this to replace an old, very worn large bore tenor trombone. I was looking for a medium bore trombone as I have difficulty filling a large bore instrument these days. Yamaha market the YSL-356 as a "student model" but in reality I think you'd have to be at a pretty advanced level before needing a better instrument. It's very easy to blow and the sound/tone is excellent. I use it in a wind band and a big band and it works well in both. The supplied Yamaha mouthpiece is also surprisingly good, it's maybe biased towards the lower range but it works very well for me so I'll stick with it.
( Service and delivery from Thomann were excellent as always. )
