Honey-gold lacquered, Engraved
Yamaha use a lacquer with some color in it to impart a warm rich color to the instrument. Engraving on the bell.

Black lacquered, Engraved
This striking finish comes from black lacquer applied to the body while the keys and the interior of the bell are polished and clear lacquered. Engraving on the bell exposes the golden color of the brass underneath. The whole body is then clear lacquered to protect the engraving from tarnishing.

Silver-plated, Engraved
This gorgeous finish is stronger than lacquer and improves tonal brightness and power by virtue of eliminating the high frequency sound absorption of lacquer finishes. Engraving on the bell.
