YTR-8335RC New

Unlike previous two-piece bell designs, the gold brass at narrower part of the bell (the “stem”) is relatively thin while the material at the larger exit flare is thicker.

This results in a dense, powerful tone while maintaining optimum playing ease and response.

The YTR8335RC bell is also the first Yamaha two-piece bell to feature a French bead, maximizing feedback to the player.

The YTR8335RC is the first Yamaha trumpet to have a detachable main tuning slide brace.

Attaching the brace increases resistance, reducing tonal dispersion for a tighter, more focused sound. Removing the brace decreases resistance, giving the player a freer playing feel.

In one extraordinarily versatile horn, this innovative feature lets the user choose the most suitable tone and playing feel for the type of music being performed in a wide range of situations.

*TR-TSB1 can be purchased separately.

The YTR-8335RC 3rd slide features a design that differs from previous Yamaha custom models. The water slide is removable for faster, more thorough water drainage while playing, and the position of the finger ring is adjustable to match the size of the player’s hand and allow maximum slide travel. There is also a large button on the water slide that makes slide operation easy while simultaneously achieving deeper resonance.

A one-piece valve casing results in a freer playing feel for more flexible musical expression.

Phosphor bronze bottom caps contribute to lustrous, powerful high-range notes with a solid tonal core. Cap thickness has been painstakingly fine-tuned to ensure optimum playing feel and enhanced response.

The YTR-8335RC mouthpiece receiver employs the same design as the receivers used in Xeno Artist models, offering reduced weight for smooth blowing and excellent response.

A longer arm on the valve side of the 1st slide trigger reduces strain on the player’s wrist, effectively minimizing fatigue when holding the instrument. The subtle increase in weight also contributes to richer tone.
