YAMAHA TRB 4 II reviewed by Mike Milner

I own one. Top quality build, as to be expected from Yamaha (I also own a BB 1200). The eq gives the instrument great versatility when you are dialing in your preferred sound, and the smaller body makes the instrument comfortable. A bit on the heavy side; but nothing too serious. There aren't too many out there, but they are a real bargain if you can find one used.
