Hello. I am only seeking data for these two specific, interrelated instrument models. No others, please.
Eastman ECB-836
Yamaha YCB-826
1. Which of these two instruments do/did you own?
2. What year was your instrument built (or purchased)?
3. Was it new or used?
4. What mouthpiece came with the instrument when you bought it?
5. What mouthpiece do you currently use with it?
Thank you!

1. Which of these two instruments do/did you own?
I owned an Eastman 836 for a few months before I sprung for the Yamaha. I really liked the Eastman, which was a primo example of the model. But the Yamaha was stuck in my brain, and I eventually came up with the $$$$$ to go back and get it.
2. What year was your instrument built (or purchased)?
Eastman: 2023
Yamaha: 2011
3. Was it new or used?
Eastman: new
Yamaha: used
4. What mouthpiece came with the instrument when you bought it?
Eastman: Laskey 30H
Yamaha: n/a
5. What mouthpiece do you currently use with it?
Eastman: n/a
Yamaha: Sellmansberger OG Ultimate; Warburton TG1-L

1. Eastman 836
2. Purchased 2021
3. I got it new.
4. It came with a shires mouthpiece when I go it. Never really used it much.
5. I currently use a Sellmansberger OG Ultimate. When I first got the horn I used a PT-50 for a bit and then an orchestra grand three piece and finally the og ultimate.
