Introduction
The Yamaha YTR-8310ZII Custom Z Professional Bb Trumpet represents the evolution of Yamaha's legendary partnership with renowned trumpet artist Bobby Shew, refined in 2018 to create a second-generation instrument that further enhances the brilliant tone and well-balanced playing resistance that contemporary jazz styles demand. This exceptional professional trumpet delivers the versatility and efficiency that allows musicians to wail out powerful lead lines and play soft, mellow ballads with the musical nuance and expression that define world-class jazz performance. Perfect for jazz professionals, contemporary musicians, and serious performers who need one instrument capable of handling the full spectrum of modern musical demands while maintaining Yamaha's highest standards of precision and consistency.
Product Overview
Born from Yamaha's extensive collaboration with legendary trumpet player Bobby Shew, the Custom Z series represents decades of refinement to satisfy the most demanding contemporary playing requirements. The YTR-8310ZII features innovative design elements specifically engineered to produce the powerful, well-defined tone that today's jazz players demand while maintaining the musical sensitivity needed for expressive ballad performance.
The revolutionary two-piece valve casing design replaces the conventional one-piece construction to add depth and core to the instrument's tone while perfectly balancing playing resistance. This advanced engineering ensures that musicians can achieve both the power needed for lead trumpet work and the controlled dynamics required for intimate jazz expression, all within a single, versatile instrument.
The one-piece yellow brass bell with 5" diameter plays a crucial role in achieving brilliant tone and outstanding projection, featuring an innovative side seam that passes through tubing brace points to dampen unwanted vibration for more open resonance. The advanced French bead technique creates a flat-dome rim shape that enhances feedback to the performer, providing the tactile response that professional musicians rely on for precise control and expression.
