Unique Bell Bead Design This design allows for a more resonant and projecting sound. Hammered one-piece bell The newly designed yellow brass bell features a side seam and a variable wall thickness. This new manufacturing process results in a quicker response, a deeper rich sound, a wider spectrum of tone colors and better projection. Hand lapped pistons and slides Hand-lapping pistons and slides ensures an absolutely perfect fit and seal between the pistons and casing or slide parts. Such a perfect fit helps to achieve smooth air flow and smooth action and improves the response and intonation of the instrument. Laser-fused pluzuma welded bell A high-energy laser fuses the brass together for a virtually seamless bell which allows continuous even vibrations. Unbraced inner outer tuning slide As with all Yamaha lightweight trumpets, the YTR-8310Z has an unbraced inner outer tuning slide which makes the trumpet comfortably open with less resistance. One-piece, drawn, gold brass leadpipe This type of leadpipe offers excellent intonation, response and proper resistance. Large bell flare and large bore tuning slide The large bore tuning slide and large bell flare in combination with the stepped bore design allows this medium bore trumpet to produce a very big sound with very little effort.   Specifications: Level Custom "Bobby Shew" Z-series Key Bb Bore Step: 0.445" Bell Diameter 5" Leadpipe Gold brass Body Material Yellow brass Bell Material Yellow brass; One-piece Weight Light Key Buttons Mother of pearl Finish Gold epoxy lacquer (YTR-8310Z); Pistons / Valves Monel Features Special bead and bell taper   This 8310Z being sold has been played by Mike Bogart, lead trumpet player of Tower of Power, and is part of the personal collection of Easton Lead/Jazz/recording artist Paul Paetzell.  As you can see from the pictures, this horn is in excellent condition.  All the valves and slides are immaculate.  It has been meticulously cared for.  This is a fabulous horn.
