Yamaha YTR-8335RGS Xeno Series Bb Trumpet
The Yamaha YTR-8335RGS Xeno Professional Trumpet is renowned for its exceptional value and outstanding performance. The Bb Xeno trumpet offers musicians highly responsive action and satin-smooth playing.

Yamaha musical instruments are justly famous for their attention to detail, and the Xeno trumpet is no exception. With an ample .459" bore, the Yamaha YTR-8335RGS Xeno trumpet offers performers low resistance for satisfyingly free blowing. Both the hand-hammered bell and drawn mouthpipe are fashioned in one piece for durability and outstanding tone.

The Xeno is a substantial trumpet with a heavy mouthpiece receiver, 2-piece valve casings, a first valve slide thumb hook, and double main tuning slide braces—just a few of the amenities usually found on more expensive instruments. Maintenance of your Xeno trumpet will be minimal as evidenced by the use of extremely durable Monel alloy for the hand-lapped pistons and slides.

Yamaha Xeno trumpets have earned their place in the world's most prestigious symphonies and among top-level concert band and jazz performers. Yamaha's flagship professional trumpets are heavyweight instruments, made with a metal that has been specially treated to deliver more power, better control, and a richer sound.

The mouthpiece receiver length on the YTR-8335RGS Xeno Professional Trumpet has been upgraded for improved response. All tubing is pressure-formed for perfect roundness that results in smoother air flow and more precise tone. With an annealed 4-7/8" bell, and a gold-brass mouthpiece, the Yamaha YTR-8335RGS Xeno Professional Trumpet is highly responsive with a dark tone that won't break up with volume.

Yamaha delivers each YTR-8335RGS Xeno Professional Trumpet in its own sturdy case. Like every Yamaha wind instrument, the Xeno Professional Trumpet is covered by a limited 5-year warranty.

Silver-plated finish.

"Excellent all-purpose horn"

After 25 years of playing on Bach trumpets (the last 15 on a Vindobona model Strad), I decided to get a new horn. After considering several different horns, the Yamaha Xeno Special Model YTR8335GRS was my choice for my next trumpet. Among the features I found appealing were the reverse leadpipe and larger bore for less resistance, and the gold brass bell and heavywall construction for a darker sound. I've had my Xeno for about three weeks now, and already I've heard and felt a vast improvement in my playing. My upper register is much more open and secure, I can maneuver across the entire range of the trumpet with less fear of missing notes, and i can achieve greater dynamic range, from pp to fff, without losing tonality and pitch. Beautiful tone, smooth valves and excellent fit and finish. I highly recommend the Special Model to any player needing an all-purpose pro horn.

Even without the 'free stuff' incentives this trumpet is a great horn. I tried a few various trumpets when I was looking to step up to the professional level and I liked the Xeno more than the Bach Stradivarius. From what I've seen and heard the Stradivarius trumpet line has gone downhill since the strike and it is similar to a hit or miss game in which some trumpets turn out great whereas others are decent but not brilliant. Yamaha makes and tests their horns the same way every time which results in the same high quality trumpet every time. Although a professional trumpeter may often have a custom horn made to suit their needs, this trumpet has a great sound and good intonation for those looking to buy a professional level trumpet that will last a good many years.

"Best Horn in the Price Range"

I tried this horn out on a whim when I visited WWBW about a year ago. The shotblast silver finish is what caught my eye. I pulled it off the wall and took it into the practice room and it just fit. I put in my mouthpiece and felt like this horn was meant for me. When I wanted a mellow, darker tone for a little solo thing, it did it. When I wanted that sizzle on my high D, it had it, and didn't even fall flat. I was able to scale up to a high F on my Bach 1.5 C Megatone with ease, which I'd never been able to do on my old Strad. I figured a horn this good would cost twice as much, but then I looked at the price tag and saw it could be mine for the same price as a Strad. I couldn't possibly pass it up. I ordered one that day, and I have absolutely adored this horn since the day I bought it.

"This horn plays like butter!"

I bought this horn for my son who is a high school student, but I steal it from him as often as I can. I play a Schilke B5 for most of my gigs, so this horn is quite different. It is a much more free blowing horn than any other Yamaha we tried. The tone is silky smooth when you use a medium or deep cup mouthpiece. But put in a lead piece, it will scream. I play Curry 5 series mouthpieces, so with a 5M or 5C, this horn sings. When I pop in a 5DE or 5XS, I can get as high, bright and loud as I need to.

I borrowed this horn for a concert I did last summer while my Besson was being repaired. I must say I was impressed right from the start. It is not only a beautiful horn to see, but more importantly a wonderful horn to play. I found the upper register much easier to play than with any other horn I have owned (and I have owned a few.....Getzen, Besson, Bach Strad, LeBlanc, King & others I cannot remember). The intonation is excellent, valves great, overall finish and fitting of the horn is impeccable and it is an easy horn to play. I do not purport to know all the technical aspects of horn building and specifications, etc...all I know is that this horn beats anything I have ever played or owned. After returning this trumpet to it?s' owner, I immediately bought one for myself. I wish I could give it 10 stars!
