The YFB-821 is Yamaha's custom F tuba, designed with the late Roger Bobo and sold as a special-order model. It pairs a 16 1/2-inch yellow brass bell with a .689-inch bore and a four-piston front-action valve section plus a thumb-activated rotary valve. That layout gives a full, focused F tuba sound with the fifth valve for low-range flexibility, and it suits players who want a solo and quintet instrument rather than a big orchestral contrabass. Against other professional F tubas it is known for even intonation and clean response, though it is a niche special-order horn with a matching soft bag rather than a case.
