Yamaha YTR-8335RS Xeno Series Bb Trumpet
The YTR-8335RS achieves smooth resistance and airflow that only a reverse tuning slide design can offer, for easy, comfortable playability and harmonically rich tone. In addition to a relatively heavy mouthpiece receiver, the YTR-8335RS features a single main tuning slide brace and a finger ring design that result in an ideal balance between great playability and wide range of tonal expression. The Xeno' s heavyweight construction produces a solid tone core for a rich strong sound that won' t spread or break up no matter how hard you push it. Reverse tuning slide.
Reviews
"The trumpet came with a rubber band to hold the first valve slide and third valve slide so they wouldn't fall out."
"Wonderful horn--smooth, responsive, perfect intonation."
"My range did come out of the pocket just a little bit because I was so used to the resistance and standard leadpipe on my 4325s but I just need to adjust to the horn. The only con that I have about this trumpet is that there is no spit valve on the third valve slide so the spit get trapped in there often and comes out through the bell."
"I've never played a trumpet that provided sound and company like this one."
"Produces a good quality sound."

"It may sound weird at first, but in a good 10 minutes of playing, the valvues and the trumpet starts to work fine."
