Seasoned grenadilla body and sculpted silver-plated keys





Grenadilla is the material of choice for professional-grade piccolos, due to its dense grain, moisture-repellent qualities, eye-catching look, and warm tone. For the YPC-62R, Yamaha selected the highest-quality grenadilla, which is seasoned for improved performance. The YPC-62R is populated with sculpted silver-plated keys that are fitted with traditional pads, providing you with a responsive feel and reliable performance.





Hand finished for superior performance





Beyond the grenadilla body and headjoint and superior silver-plated keys, the Yamaha YPC-62R boasts several top-notch appointments and hand-finished touches: stainless steel springs are on deck to give you a smooth feel and swift action, and a conical barrel design provides a richer tone than standard bores. When you get your hands on the YPC-62R for the first time, you’ll be dazzled by its exquisite feel and sound. It’s the perfect instrument for budget-minded professional musicians.
