Detail 01
9 in. shell depth
It is 3 in. shallower than Yamaha’s standard models, with lightweight handling and snare response as stated goals.

Independent shopping perspective
Built around a 14 x 9 in. maple shell, the 9400 SFZ Piccolo is Yamaha’s shorter-depth marching snare. The reduced 9 in. shell is intended to keep the instrument lightweight while bringing out snare response. Anodized hardware, including both hoops, and low-mass lugs round out the design. It is a focused choice for players and directors who want a compact-depth marching snare with the response Yamaha developed through field testing.
