This is a unique and very special trumpet. Built around a Yamaha YTR 6345 H valve set is a custom horn that delivers a beautiful warm, dark, velvety sound; ideal for jazz, combo and orchestral applications. Beginning with the lead pipe, each major part is specially numbered, as set forth above. The lead pipe is marked at the mouthpiece receiver, the tuning slide is marked at a collar near the water key and the bell is marked on the underside rather than on the top. Additionally, the beautiful brushed brass and nickel silver finish, coated in a clear lacquer, allows you to see the difference in color between the yellow brass lead pipe and slides compared to the beautiful red bronze color of the bell. The Amado water keys are original to the horn and there is no sign, whatsoever, that they were added to replace something else. The valves and slides are all perfect, smooth and fast, and the horn has a nice solid heavy feel in your hand.
This unique horn delivers a beautiful, dark smoky sound with great slotting and intonation in all registers. I believe that these Yamaha trumpets represent the absolute best value in used instruments on the market today. This is truly a diamond in the rough. The reason I am selling it is that I do not play it often enough as most of my work involves lead or show playing for which I prefer to use a trumpet with a brighter sound. This horn is of too high a quality to be left in the case and only taken out once in awhile for practicing or an occasional orchestral need.
The only blemish on the horn is a small mute ding on the left side of the bell which I have done my best picture. Please check my 100% positive feedback, ask any questions that you may have, and bid with confidence.
