YAMAHA YTR-8310ZIIS CUSTOM Z Lightweight Bb Trumpet Silver Plate - YTR8310ZIIS
In 2018, Yamaha and Bobby Shew collaborated to create a second-generation Yamaha YTR-8310ZII Custom Z professional trumpet. It further refines the tone and playing resistance that contemporary styles demand.
Bobby Shew needed a trumpet that could wail out powerful lead lines and also play soft, mellow ballads with musical nuance - the Yamaha Custom Z YTRP8310ZII is the result.
Features
- Two-piece Valve Casing - adds depth and core to the instrument’s tone while balancing the playing resistance

- French Bead Bell Rim - provides a flat-dome rim shape that enhances feedback to the player
- TR-SHEW-JAZZ Mouthpiece - has a deep and roomy cup for a big, warm sound and nimbly maneuvers through quick jazz passages with a rich, full tone.\
