Yamaha YTR8335RS Bb Xeno Professional Trumpet

A heavy mouthpiece receiver and daring removal of the third valve water key results in a superb balance of playability and tonal quality. With this model, musicians will be able to produce a firm sound in all dynamic ranges, from delicate pianissimo to powerful fortissimo.

Features

• The YTR-8335RS achieves smooth resistance and airflow that only a reverse tuning slide design can offer, for easy, comfortable playability and harmonically rich tone.
• A new bell design contributes to optimum resistance for a powerful tonal core. The new design also enhances playability in the upper register.
• Thinner valvecasing and pistons, as well as the modified angle of the branch tube (knuckle), result in improved response and provide the performer with an ideal blowing resistance.
• The button on the 1st slide is to fine-tune the blowing resistance for better control.
• The height of the main slide water key gutter has been increased for optimum resistance, and the ends of the water key spring have been curled for improved response.
