Yamaha YTR-8335LAII Custom LA Bb Trumpet - Gold Lacquer | Piano Gallery, Idaho Falls
The Yamaha YTR-8335LAII Custom LA is a professional Bb trumpet developed in direct collaboration with renowned jazz trumpeter Wayne Bergeron, engineered to deliver a brilliant, complex tone with the versatility to excel across jazz, pop, and commercial performance settings. This second-generation horn builds on its predecessor with a thoroughly overhauled valve section, upgraded components sourced from Yamaha's Xeno Artist series, and a gold brass leadpipe that brings a solid core tone and exceptional response. A top-tier choice for professional trumpeters seeking a medium-weight, high-performance horn, the YTR-8335LAII is ready for anything the bandstand demands.
Product Overview
The YTR-8335LAII is constructed with a 1-piece, 5-inch yellow brass bell featuring lavish French bead and side seams that identify it immediately as a top-of-the-line instrument. The bell's optimized shape supports a powerful tonal core and nimble playability, projecting a brilliant, complex sound with agile response. A gold-colored lacquer finish completes the build, adding a subtle warmth to every note while providing lasting protection for the brass body.
This Yamaha professional trumpet's 0.459-inch bore strikes an ideal balance between air resistance and openness, producing a larger-than-life sound that maintains clarity and focus even when pushed to the limits. The gold brass leadpipe delivers maximum air capacity and super-quick response, offering a comfortable level of breath resistance and a tone with impressive core and depth. Together, these features make the YTR-8335LAII one of the most sought-after professional trumpets for jazz available at the Idaho Falls band instruments shop.
The second-generation valve section represents one of the most significant upgrades in this horn's evolution. A 2-piece brass casing paired with phosphor bronze heavy bottom caps produces ear-tickling overtones — particularly in the middle register — that give this trumpet a rich, complex harmonic character. Upgraded water key, piston pads, and cap pads derived from Yamaha's Xeno Artist series round out a valve section built to perform flawlessly night after night.

Key Features
Tone Production
The 1-piece, 5-inch yellow brass bell with an optimized shape projects a brilliant, complex sound with a powerful tonal core. The gold-colored lacquer finish adds a subtle warmth to the overall tonal character, making this horn equally at home in intimate jazz club settings and large commercial venues.
Valve Mechanism
Rugged monel valves housed in a 2-piece brass casing with phosphor bronze heavy bottom caps deliver smooth, reliable action while producing ear-tickling overtones, especially in the middle register. Upgraded Xeno Artist-derived piston pads and cap pads ensure ultra-consistent valve response under demanding performance conditions.
Leadpipe Design
The gold brass leadpipe provides a comfortable level of breath resistance alongside maximum air capacity and super-quick response. This design supports a solid core tone and allows players to fine-tune blowing resistance to suit individual playing styles and musical demands.
Intonation System
The 0.459-inch bore balances air resistance for an incredibly open feel, producing a sound that stays focused and clear without smearing or breaking up under pressure. The bell shape further optimizes response, giving players precise control over intonation across all registers.
Finish and Construction
The lavish French bead and side seams on the yellow brass bell reflect the craftsmanship expected of a custom-level instrument. The gold-colored lacquer finish not only lends a warm visual elegance but also contributes a subtle tonal warmth that sets this trumpet apart from standard lacquer-finished horns.
