• Do not use extra hard mallets for glockenspiel or
other hard materials to strike the vibraphone and metallophone tone bars. These can dent or scratch the
bars and damage their sound quality.
• Avoid outdoor use.
• Do not place heavy objects or sit on the tone bars or
rails. This may damage the frame or loosen the rails.
• When manoeuvring the instrument over short distances, be sure to release the brakes on the caster
wheels and slightly lift the weight off of the wheels
when actually moving.
•When transporting long distances, disassemble and
pack carefully. Disassemble by reversing the assembly procedure.
• Turn the power switch OFF before unplugging the
motor power cord from the AC outlet.
• If the motor should automatically shut off for any
reason, turn the power switch OFF and eliminate the
cause of failure. After a few seconds, the power can
be turned ON, and the motor will run normally.
• Avoid dust. Store the instrument in its case or cover
with a cloth.
• Avoid places with high temperature or humidity and
do not store in direct sunlight.
• Never use wetted cloths or solvents such as thinner or
benzine to clean the instrument. Wipe clean with a
soft, dry cloth.
• Always apply the caster brakes except when moving.
The clear and soft tone produced by the tone bars is a result
of using the finest quality aluminum alloy possible. To prevent
rust and give a soft, satin-like finish, the tone bars are finished
with a hairline silver alumite finish.
■ Perfect Tuning
Tuning technicians use their highly trained ears as well as
strobe tuners to tune each individual tone bar. To assure
accurate pitch, tuning is performed on the overtones of each
tone bar as well as its fundamental pitch. Tuning is performed
to the same level as concert and pro use instruments to
ensure that pitch is perfect and even over the entire range.
■ Easy to use, lightweight yet sturdy frame.
The frame’s rail and end piece’s are constructed out of solid
beech wood to prevent frame warping. Also, the frame is
finished with a black matte finish which lets the beauty of
the woods grain show through.
For added reinforcement, angle brackets are attached where
the rail and end pieces are connected. Leg stays and a pedal
stay are also incorporated to give added stability to the
frame. A mallet holder is located in an easy to access position.
Casters are equipped with brakes to keep the vibraphone
from moving while playing. The pedal height is also
adjustable.
■ Vibraphone Drive Unit
Using a compact, high quality, brushless motor the drive
unit applies smooth and delicate vibrato to the vibraphone’s
sound. Vibrato speed is regulated by a slider located on the
controller giving the user a wide range of vibrato settings.
The vibrato fans can be stopped using the controller’s stop
switch. The switch is a touch switch which is silent in
operation.
■ Engineered Stability
The Vibraphone pulley is equipped with a cover.
If the fan should stop rotating for whatever reason, the
electric current to the motor will be automatically shut
off preventing the motor from overheating.
The shipping carton of your YV-2700/1600A
should contain the parts shown below.
Before assembling the instrument, confirm
that all parts are included as listed.

3. Take out the pedal stay. First, attach the treble
end, and then, tighten into position with the
wing nut. At the bass end, first, attach the
pedal stay as shown by A, then attach the leg
stay below the pedal stay as shown by B in the
diagram below. Place a washer between the
wing bolt and the stays and firmly tighten into
place.

5. Fix the position of the pedal rod and the pedal
piece at the treble end.
At the bass end of resonators, if the room
temperature is more than 22 °C (72° F), insert
resonators into the shallower grooves; if room
temperature is less than 22°C (72° F), insert
resonators into the deeper grooves.
At this point assembly for models YT-300D/280D is
continued with step #11 “Adjust the pedal stroke”
on page 12. After completing the assembly go back
and make sure all wing nuts are tightened firmly.
There are two controller mounting pins on the
high sound side of rail (1). Align the two holes
in the controller mounts with these pins and
hook the controller onto the pins one side at a
time.

First, wrap the synchro belt around the driver
pulley and then carefully slide it over the fan
side pulley.
* Note For Service Personnel
If the belt cannot be mounted because the distance between pulleys is too wide, or the belt slips
due to a too narrow pulley distance, loosen the
two driver positioning screws (see illustration below) to adjust the pulley distance (belt tension).
Tighten the screws securely after adjustment.

Loosen the center rod fixing bolts to adjust the
protruding length of the center rod to the desired
pedal stroke, and retighten the bolts. The recommended stroke (distance between pedal and floor)
is 9/16" to 13/16" (1.5 to 2 cm).
