California See more about 'Yamaha YTR8310Z Bobby Shew Model Trumpet New Mint' Description YTR-8310Z Professional Bb lightweight trumpet Monel pistons Monel pistons are resistant to corrosion and are an ideal choice for professional trumpet pistons which must retain precise fit and smooth action over many years. 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.
