YFG-812/812C Bassoons
<Generation 3>
The 812, with a heavier body wall, features a rich, authoritative sound. It is ideal for players who prefer a round, warm tone, and who require the power to balance the volume of a modern symphony orchestra. The design process for the instrument's body has been refined to enhance both sound quality and playability. The newly updated Yamaha Custom Bassoon is a top-of-the-line model that has evolved to the tone and specifications demanded by professional players.

Features
Two Body Types
The YFG-811 (left) features a standard body wall thickness, offering a broad expressive capability for the widest range of players and playing styles. The YFG-812 (right) has a heavier 4-millimeter-thick body wall, resulting in a darker tone that blends well with the modern orchestra.
Improved Sound Quality
The body design has been enhanced, and both volume and resonance have been further enriched. The sound richness index has increased compared to the current model, thanks to a scientific analysis of the effects of these improvements. The sound becomes richer in correlation with the amount of breath blown in, undergoing diverse changes and expanding the range of the player's performance.
Key Systems
The key systems are fully handmade by experienced craftsmen, with emphasis on superior quality and playability. Standard features include a balancer and Bb key guard, while a series of key rollers and double low C key facilitate the performance of challenging passages. The left-hand little pinky keys and right-hand thumb and pinky keys have positioned in the most natural, comfortable locations for significantly enhanced playability and allowing the performer to focus on the music rather than the instrument.
New Engraving
The engraving on the bell and double joints have been refreshed, with the signature Yamaha tuning fork logo now added to the bell.
Case (YFG-812)
The YFG-812 comes with the FGC-802N case.
Case (YFG-812C)
The YFG-812C has a compact-style design with a longer bell and shorter long joint, making it compatible with the smaller FGC-802C case.
