Description   Yamaha 8335 LA  Wayne Bergeron Model Trumpet Fantastic player,  fantastic condition! Up for auction today is another horn from my personal collection.   I bought this on ebay a few months ago (see my feedback for the auction) and paid a premium price.  It's a tremendous instrument.  Why am I selling?  Well...  my fickle nature has led me to the 8340EM model.  I can't keep both horns and so I must sell this one.   If you know anything about these horns the thing you should notice is that these are never for sale on ebay.  Here's how Yamaha briefly describes the LA: "Designed with west coast recording legend Wayne Bergeron, this new custom trumpet provides the perfect balance of resistence and openness to fit any style of playing" This is REALLY the case...  The horn is extremely sensitive to mouthpiece application and can make any sound you'd like.   With a Monette B2S3 I can make the horn play like a great old Bach.  With my Wedge 3C it's a great quintet horn.  With my Wedge lead piece it cuts through a big band with ease!  I've owned another 8335LA and this one far outplays it. There are tiny signs of wear on the horn. At one foot away this passes for new.   Some tiny lacquer wear on the valveset (pictured) prevent me from calling this "pristine".   The valves are the best I've played on any Yamaha.  They are the quietest,  most responsive set I've had on my Yamahas.  Intonation on this horn is fantastic.   The Lacquer (which I far preferred over silver) is in tremendous shape and is a beautiful color.   New these horns sell for over 1800 from WWBW.  Want to find more information about the Yamaha LA  Check out the URL link provided below.  There's a lot of information about these amazing horns here!  http://www.yamaha.com/yamahavgn/CDA/List/ModelSeriesList/0,,CTID%25253D551176%252526CNTYP%25253DPRODUCT,00.html(Note: the pictures on that site is not this horn being offered for sale) No case or mouthpiece  are included in this sale.       While this horn isn't in pristine condition it is in excellent condition.   This horn is truly a one in a kind instrument so please only serious bidders/questions only. The reserve is very fair for this instrument. No buyers with zero feedback or negative feedback. I reserve the right to end the auction early or cancel ANY bids. I'll ship the horn worldwide but the buyer is responsible for the full costs and insurance for this transaction. Paypal gladly accepted. Bid with confidence, bid often, and GOOD LUCK!  My reserve is VERY fair for such a rare instrument.  I will not reveal the reserve as I feel it's very fair for such a player.  I'm happy to keep this horn in my collection if it does not sell.   If you use "buy-it-now"  I will pay for FREE US shipping and insurance!  I will also discount your foreign shipping charges by  50%  if you use buy-it-now.  Save a ton on this tremendous horn!   Note: Higher resolution photos can be sent to you via email but please only SERIOUS inquires.
