Wayne Bergeron's Signature Trumpet
Designed in collaboration with famed jazz trumpeter Wayne Bergeron, the Yamaha YTR-8335LAII Custom is a versatile, pro-level horn that's primed for anything. This second-generation horn's 1-piece, 5-inch, yellow brass bell projects a brilliant, complex sound, while its lavish French bead and side seams mark it as a top-of-the-line horn. The YTR-8335LAII's 0.459-inch bore balances its air resistance for an incredibly open feel; its gold brass leadpipe offers maximum air capacity and super-quick response. The YTR-8335LAII's valve section has been completely overhauled for generation two, with a 2-piece brass casing and phosphor bronze heavy bottom caps, yielding ear-tickling overtones, especially in the middle register. You also get an upgraded water key, piston pads, and cap pads with parts culled from Yamaha's Xeno Artist series. You'll appreciate how easy it is to fine-tune the YTR-8335LAII's blowing resistance, in addition to how its gold-colored lacquer finish adds a subtle warmth to every note you play. If you're searching for a medium-weight, high-performance horn for jazz or pop applications, the Yamaha YTR-8335LAII Custom is worthy of a top-level trumpeter.
