Yamaha TrumpetsIt’s not easy making the world’s best trumpets.Yamaha maintains full-time designers whose entire job centers around a single task; creating better trumpets. But that isn’t enough... In order to research the needs of busy professional musicians, and changing trends in the musical world, Yamaha has R&D Ateliers strategically located in cities throughout the world. Instrument specialists at these engineering outposts are in constant communication with many of the world’s greatest instrumental artists. These musical artists work side by side with Yamaha’s technical artists, studying and analyzing how to improve what are already great instruments. But again, R&D can’t function alone... New ideas from the ateliers are sent back to Yamaha headquarters in Hamamatsu Japan, where the designers transform them into actual designs. These designs are given to the highly-skilled artisans at Yamaha’s Toyooka Custom Shop, where parts and prototypes are put together by hand and sent back to the R&D Ateliers. After extensive experimentation and use of prototypes in performance situations over a long period of time, the final specifications are decided. And then the production engineers figure out how these great instruments can be produced in consistent high quality. There are a lot of very talented and highly motivated people behind each Yamaha trumpet. They are dedicated to producing the best trumpets in the world. For you!

Lead-free SolderAll Yamaha trumpets are made using lead-free solder, showing Yamaha’s long time concern for the environment. We spent years studying the acoustic changes brought about by the various possible alternatives, and we have discovered a new solder which is not only better for the environment but actually adds harmonic breadth to the sound.

The Xeno Artist Model series trumpets are a special line developed with specific leading orchestral trumpeters. The series offers virtually the same instruments as the individually ‘customized’ models used by those top artists. Please see the separate Artist Model catalogue for more details or ask your local retailer.

Series TrumpetsPerhaps What You’ve Been Searching For…

Xeno (pronounced ‘Zeno’) trumpets are designed for those who want power and projection as well as a big warm sound. Developed from more than 30 years’ research with leading artists throughout the world, Xeno trumpets incorporate their dreams, their experience, and their talents—as realized through the skills and ideas of some of the world’s best designers and craftspersons. Traditional hand-craftsmanship augmented by cutting edge manufacturing technology has created an extraordinary quality of unprecedented consistency.

The Xeno’s heavyweight construction produces a solid tone core for a rich strong sound that won’t spread or break up no matter how hard you push it. It blows freely and comfortably, while still providing enough air resistance for quick response and superb tonal flexibility. And the hand-hammered one-piece bell gives an agile, quick response with a beautiful tone.

Xeno B� trumpets offer a choice of bore sizes; medium large for versatility, and large for a broad sound with plenty of power. Bell material options for B� and C Xenos include; yellow brass - for clear sound with strong projection, and gold brass – for warmer, deeper sound.

4 5

■ Leadpipe and tuning slide are reversed style with a single brace for quicker response and playing agility. ■ A weighted mouthpiece receiver adds body to the tonal core, and helps hold the sound together at large dynamics. ■ This model has a ring on the 1st valve slide, and no water key on the third valve slide, as preferred by some players.

Professional Model B� TrumpetsPerfect For All-Around Playing...Yamaha’s professional medium-weight models are the perfect all-around trumpets. They’re at home in any setting, from studio to big band, concert band, chamber group, or orchestra. We offer two models to meet the needs of almost any players. The 6335 features a medium-large bore and a yellow-brass bell for a big sound with clear projection. It has the kind of flexibility needed for playing in a quintet or studio work, but enough tonal power for lead or orchestral work. The 6345 offers a large sized bore with a gold-brass bell for a warm, rich, commanding tone. Both are ideal for those who need versatility in their horn, and are looking for an instrument that will play and sound just right in any group or setting.

Bobby ShewBobby Shew is one of the greatest jazz trumpeters of all time. Equally at home in a variety of genres, he is incredibly versatile and is renowned both for his powerful lead playing and for his expressive solos.

Here is some advice from Bobby on how to first approach the horn:

“The 8310Z is designed for tremendous efficiency. That means great sound with great ease of playing. When you test play this instrument, be sure to “back off” to ensure that you don’t overblow it. Start with simple scales or glissandos up and down within your normal comfortable range until you get used to not working so hard when you play. Enjoy the world of EASY PLAYING and may you never be the same!!”

YTR-8310Z

TheAll Trumpets Are Not Alike.

The Z was born of Yamaha’s long and close partnership with the legendary trumpeter Bobby Shew. Bobby is an incredibly versatile musician, and to meet all his playing requirements he needed one super efficient instrument which could scream out a powerful lead, or play soft, mellow ballades. He finally found that instrument in the Z. The original YTR-6310Z was considered by many leading artists to be the best trumpet on the market, and

they were skeptical when they learned that Yamaha would attempt to improve it. But trumpet designer Shunichi Niwata and R&D specialist Bob Malone worked together with Bobby using all the special techniques we’d learned since designing the first Z. The handmade bell is one of the biggest we make, and its tapering thickness gives players a very ‘open’ and comfortable response as well as better feedback into how they sound. The flat-dome bell rim helps players create their own personal tonal colors. We’ve kept the same basic design concept which made the original Z so popular: the precise leadpipe taper and super efficient step-bore design. But we have improved on it in many subtle ways, often using techniques we learned in developing the heavyweight Xeno trumpets. As a result, the Custom Z offers an unprecedented amount of tonal richness and depth.

CaseZ trumpets come in deluxe cases which provide excellent protection.

Intermediate ModelsDesigned by the same team that produced our top pro models, these trumpets share many of the same qualities, and are characterized by a rich full tone with accurate intonation. Our skilled craftsmen put their knowledge and experience into every step of the production, from hand-lapping the slides and pistons to the final adjustments and test playing. They feature Monel pistons for quick and reliable valve action, and the entire inner bore taper—from mouthpiece receiver to the bell—has been scientifically designed for beautiful tone color, comfortable response, and as much sound as you want. The YTR-4435 is a C trumpet, and it comes with a set of four slides which can convert it to B�.

Standard ModelsOur Standard model trumpets also owe much of their basic design to the pro series. Like the pro models, they feature carefully centered intonation and a surprisingly rich and full tone. But in addition they are easy to play, and easy to sound good on. Thus even beginners are soon able to play in tune, with a rich solid sound—a fact which helps them establish a strong musical foundation. The Standard models offer a choice of either a gold lacquer or silver-plate finish. The YTR-2435 is in C and comes with an extra main tuning slide which converts it to B�.

E, E� & D TrumpetsWith their brilliant sound, clear, crisp attack, and excellent high register control, these trumpets were originally used mainly for performance of Baroque music. But now they are increasingly played as a more ‘secure’ alternative to B� and C trumpets—especially for playing treacherous high passages. We offer several different styles and variations in our Custom series.

YTR-6610S E�/D trumpet – This professional model lightweight E�/D trumpet shares many of the characteristics of our Custom series instruments, and offers accurate intonation with excellent response. It has a fixed bell, and comes with three extra tuning slides to convert it from E� to D.

Piccolo Trumpets & G/F TrumpetThough Piccolo Trumpets are generally used to play the difficult and high first trumpet parts from the Baroque era, more and more modern composers are also creating contemporary pieces for these exciting instruments. Yamaha piccolo trumpets are all easy to play, and offer a beautiful tone with excellent intonation.

YTR-9635 E/E� trumpet – The heavyweight bell gives the rich full sound of a large trumpet but with security and control in high passages. Bells and slides are included for both E (especially useful in performing the Hummel Concerto) and E�.

YTR-9630 E� trumpet – Especially well suited for use in place of B� or C trumpets, due to its large sized 5” bell (bigger than the bell of many B� trumpets) which gives a broad warm sound. A 4th valve extends the lower range making it possible to play most B� and C trumpet parts, and the added weight from the extra valve adds substance to the sound.

YTR-9610 E�/D trumpet – Characterized by accurate intonation and excellent resistance, it is equally at home in a chamber ensemble or a full orchestra. Its lightweight construction gives it an agile and flexible response.

YTR-6810S – A professional model piccolo with smaller bell and bore size ideal for solo and chamber music. It has a 4th valve and comes with an extra leadpipe to play in A.

The YTR-9830 piccolo trumpet – Pitched in B�, it has an extra leadpipe to convert it to A, and a fourth valve for extended low range and for use with alternate fingerings.

The YTR-9820C piccolo trumpet – It features a unique removable 4th valve section attached to the 3rd valve slide. Pitched in B�, it has an extra leadpipe to convert it to A.

The YTR-9710 – A specialty trumpet that bridges the gap between the high pitched trumpets and piccolo trumpets.It is pitched in G with an extra bell and slides for F.

Rotary TrumpetsDeveloped with leading players, these instruments represent the finest in the Germanic trumpet tradition. Their tone is round, warm and dark, but with a focused core for excellent projection. They are easy to play, and blend well with the other woodwinds and brass of the orchestra, yet have the power to fill the concert hall with glorious sound. And conductors especially appreciate the way their tone holds together without becoming too brassy or spreading, no matter how loudly you play.

Herald TrumpetThe YTR-6330F features a long bell design with two rings for attaching banners. While it is visually exciting, it is also a high quality professional trumpet with a brilliant tone ideal for fanfares.

FlugelhornsFlugelhorns have a soft, mellow, dark sound with beautiful lyrical qualities; they are especially favored for jazz ballads. Yamaha Flugelhorns have overcome the inconsistencies of intonation traditionally associated with these instruments, and offer a very comfortable response. The YFH-6310Z was developed with the legendary artist Bobby Shew and in addition to superb tonal flexibility, features an especially easy high register. The YFH-631G offers the traditional Yamaha flugelhorn style with a free blowing response. Both feature triggers on the third valve slide for fine intonation adjustments. The YFH-2310 offers beautiful sound, at an affordable price, while the YFH-436G is a German style rotary valve flugelhorn.

B� CornetsThe Xeno name has become well established as the brand of choice for discerning trumpet and trombone players. And now Yamaha has incorporated what they've learned developing these orchestral instruments, into some new cornets. The Xeno cornets were developed in close collaboration with some of the worlds best players and in particular David King, cornet soloist, Head of Performance Studies at the University of Salford and principal conductor of the Yorkshire Building Society band. David worked closely with Frankfurt based Yamaha R&D expert Thomas Lubitz, and the new instruments result from 2 1/2 years of research and experiments.

Allen VizzuttiVirtuoso soloist in a multitude of musical genres–from jazz to classical– Vizzutti’s extended playing range and incredible technique have thrilled audiences around the world.

“I have used the complete line of Yamaha trumpets for 20 years. I play them for one reason and one reason only; because they are fantastic. In my musical life I face a multitude of challenges in a myriad of musical settings. My Yamaha trumpet always helps me meet the demands of the professional music world. Their workmanship, quality, consistency and beauty of sound are world class.”

Timothy MorrisonFormer co-principal of the Boston Symphony, Morrison is now one of Hollywood’s top solo studio musicians (Born on the Fourth of July, JFK, Apollo 13, Saving Private Ryan, and many more).

Christopher MartinChristopher Martin was appointed principal trumpet of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in 2005 from the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, where he served as principal trumpet since 2001.

“Yamaha has created an instrument that not only recalls the rich, powerful legacy of the Chicago Symphony brass sound, it has built a trumpet to take that sound into the future. The Yamaha Chicago Model C is the finest orchestral trumpet available. Period.”

Antoine CuréWorld renowned soloist, Cure is also Professor at the National Conservatoire Superior of Paris.

“I chose Yamaha trumpets for their evenness, ease of play, and tonal flexibility. And I find these qualities throughout the entire lineup.”

“The Xeno has great projection whilst keeping a warm sound. Whether loud or quiet, the response is always secure. And intonation throughout is spot on. This is the best trumpet I have ever played on.”

Bobby ShewOne of the greatest jazz trumpeters of all time. He is incredibly versatile and is renowned both for his powerful lead playing and for his expressive solos.

“I have been fortunate to be allowed to work alongside Yamaha designers in order to create the “Z” series of trumpets and flugelhorns. They suit me beautifully for both lead and jazz playing. Thank you, YAMAHA!!!”

Joe BurgstallerBefore joining The Canadian Brass in 2001, Josef Burgstaller was North America’s busiest trumpet soloist, performing over 50 solo concerts every season.

Whether it’s performing in front of the Philadelphia Orchestra or with the New York Philharmonic Brass, performing on television and radio, recording in the studio, or one of our 100 concerts worldwide every year, Yamaha instruments have never

let me down. Yamaha leads the way with a unique combination of art, humanity and science that consistently results in the ultimate instrument, one that is capable of adapting to any situation imaginable.”

Eric AubierEric Aubier is an international soloist, as well as trumpet professor in various music academies in several different countries.

“Yamaha trumpets are technically superior and contain the potential for a wide range of tonal colors and nuances. They are not artistic on their own, but offer you a tool to express your own artistry.”

James MorrisonJazz soloist and multi-instrument virtuoso.

Brian LynchBrian Lynch is one of the most sought after jazz artists around. He has played in many top bands including the Horace Silver Quintet, Toshiko Akiyoshi Jazz Orchestra, Eddie Palmieri’s Afro-Caribbean Jazz Octet, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, and the Phil Woods Quintet.

“I’ve finally found an instrument that gives me everything I need! The horn never lets me down no matter how demanding the musical context or how much I want to put into my improvised line. Thank you, Yamaha, for helping me to keep searching and extending my playing.”

Tiger OkoshiTiger Okoshi teaches at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. His unique musical personality and amazing trumpet technique make Okoshi one of the most exciting jazz trumpeters.

“When I’m playing my horn on the stage, all I want to do is to paint the air with my colorful sound. Fun is thinking about ‘How can I ?’ and ‘How should I ?’ Choices between long and short strokes, quickly or slowly, high in the canvas or low, brighter color or darker, with fat brush or skinny pen...the fact is, I make up my

mind and play them before I know it. Paint with one note at a time. I don’t want to feel so much of ‘playing the trumpet...’ Only some instruments can offer musician to be in a true world of art.”

Nicholas PaytonNicholas Payton is one of the most outstanding young jazz artists. He has a unique musicality which is constantly evolving.

“From the beginning, SOUND has always been the catalyst for the formulation of my musical ideas. As my concept of sound may change from moment to moment, I need an instrument that can go along with me for the ride. Over the years, I’ve tried many horns, but I’ve always struggled with sacrificing one thing or another. Now with Yamaha I no longer need think about how to overcome the trumpet, all I

have to do is “Be The Sound”, and the rest is taken care of.”
