Actually, according to the people at Yamaha, the part number for their "new" F tuba is the YFB821. The number was changed according to their system which has the lower numbers such as the YBB321 is a student level instrument; the YBB641 as the professional level instrument and the YCB822 as the "Custom" level instrument which is a notch better than the professional. They decided that the proper place for this instrument was at the Custom level, hence the number change. It has officially not been released yet but the folks at Yamaha are getting their release schedules together for this instrument, the new 4/4 CC, and they are still not sure of releasing the YamaYork as yet.
Just to set the record straight.
