Yamaha YTR-9335CHS Xeno Artist Chicago Series Bb Trumpet YTR-9445CHS Silver

This is the Xeno YTR-9335CHS, a trumpet that follows in 's tradition of outstanding Bb trumpets. This one features 's infamously perfect silver plating. The YTR-9335CHSII Xeno Artist Model œChicago Bb trumpet was updated in 2015 with input from John Hagstrom, 2nd trumpet in the legendary Chicago Symphony Orchestra brass section. This new Bb trumpet pairs with the acclaimed YTR-9445CHSII œChicago C trumpet to create an excellent matching set. Together, these instruments feature unparalleled craftsmanship to meet the needs of the highest caliber of trumpet performers.

New Xeno Artist Model "Chicago" Trumpet
Consistent tone and playability between the Chicago Bb and C trumpets makes switching instruments easy. Other strengths include the fast response that orchestra playing requires, excellent high register definition, and wider low register coverage. The beautifully brilliant timbre and solid tonal core of the YTR-9335CHSII allow trumpet players to sing out over the orchestra.

Bell Design
The newly designed bell features a new design that is narrower toward the pistons and a squared-corner U-shaped crook that provides the performer with an ideal blowing resistance. This results in a more "three-dimensional" sound with a strong tonal core that improves upper register playability.

Leadpipe
Utilizing a leadpipe that is thicker than current designs, an original style Malone Pipe (MB1), and a shallower mouthpiece receiver, achieved improved tone and response while providing the performer with an ideal blowing resistance. Malone Pipe Based on leadpipes designed by renowned brass instrument artisan Bob Malone, the Malone Pipe is available in several keys, offering quick response, superior intonation and unparalleled evenness of tone: Originally a trumpet player himself, Bob Malone opened his own custom brass shop in Los Angeles in 1983. Trumpeters flocked to his shop to have him personally customize their horns. His original leadpipe design has enjoyed wide acclaim and is still held in high regard among trumpet players. Since Bob joined ' Research and Development team in 2001, his Malone Pipe design has made its way into a number of Xeno Artist models and Custom series instruments. Rich and brilliant tone with excellent projection, the Malone Pipe brings total expression to your music.

Response and Resistance
Redesigned parts, such as lighter weight pistons and valve casing, a semi-square crook shaped tuning slide and redesigned water key spring result in improved response and provide the performer with an ideal level of resistance.

Water Key
Design and materials have been re-assessed to ensure the improved response from the instrument' tubing. The weight distribution of the water key arm and the saddle has been updated to improve playability and response while enhancing high register accessibility.

Brace
Balance has been improved by modifying the shape of the brace, achieving quick response with a brilliant, well-centered tone.

Brace Position
Like the former models, the distance between the mouthpiece receiver and brace on the YTR-9335CHSII and YTR-9445CHSII are similar so that consistent playability is achieved when switching between Bb and C trumpets.

3rd Valve Slide
The 3rd valve slide stop is positioned to allow the slide to be extended further than normal so that accurate low Eb pitch can be achieved. The button at the tip of the slide and the quarter circle stopper ring help to fine-tune the playing resistance for superior comfort and playability.

Slide Stopper
The slide stopper is designed to prevent the trumpet slide from falling off. The slide stopper is made of silicone rubber, which will not harm the finish. Providing both strength and elasticity, it can remain attached to the instrument during performance. (Length: 12 cm)

Case
The TRC-800E double case features a backpack-style design for ease of transport.
