Yamaha YTR-8335RG 04 Trumpet

Despite the annoyance of the cost of a bank transfer and the increase of the cost of the trumpet due to the exchange rate, I am pleased to say I am delighted with my new trumpet. I am a professional trumpeter with over 30 years experience. 8335 is incredibly free blowing and enables precise pitching throughout the range. Dramatic changes of dynamics are made easy on this fantastic trumpet. The contrast of the gold brass bell is beautiful. The 2nd valve was noisy to start with, but has now quietened down. The lack of water key on the 3rd valve slide is a bit of a draw back, but if this all goes to help the amazing unimpeded air flow, then it's well worth it. Well done Yamaha.
