Yamaha YTR8310Z Custom Z Bb Bobby Shew Trumpet

More details:

Inspired by Yamaha's long-term collaboration with the world-renowned and highly popular jazz trumpeter Bobby Shew. The Custom Z has it all - it has been designed for versatile proffessionals and those serious about their music. With a superb range, tone and dynamic compass, this horn will feel equally at home playing a soulful ballad, as part of a screaming big band or as a punchy pop solo line. Bobby's unique input has combined with Yamaha's superior product knowledge gained from the original Z to create a stunning sequel to this industry standard.

Every stage of this trumpet's manufacturing process has been optimised to maintain Yamaha's uncomprimisingly high standards. The valves and slides have had attention from a specialist Yamaha technician to make sure they are even and maintain an even air seal. The bell has been laser-welded to make it virtually seamless, allowing continuous even vibrations and a smooth, reliable sound that you can confidently adapt and make your own.
