Key Features
Artistic guidance was provided during the design stage of this Yamaha Trumpet by John Hagstrom of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Yamaha focused on achieving the ideal blowing resistance and weight balance, and have re-thought every part of the new Yamaha Xeno Artist YTR9445 'Chicago' C Trumpet.
Product Ref: 35013
Every component of the instrument contains the input of artists from around the world, allowing Yamaha to create a highly evolved Chicago model.
New Design
The new bell on the Yamaha Xeno Artist YTR9445 'Chicago' C Trumpet features a design that is narrower toward the pistons and a squared-corner U-shaped crook that provides the performer with an ideal blowing resistance. This results in a richer sound with a strong tonal core that provides improved upper register playability. The wall thickness gradually tapers, thinning as it gets closer to the rim. The flat rim helps for even intonation even at extreme dynamic ranges.
Redesigned parts, such as lighter weight pistons and valve casing, a semi-square crook shaped tuning slide and water key spring, result in improved response and provide the performer with an ideal blowing resistance. The 3rd valve slide stopper has been moved to allow extended slide play for a low F or to facilitate alternative fingerings. The oversized button on the end of the slide has been carefully designed to fine-tune the blowing resistance for improved control.
Malone Pipe
Based on leadpipes designed by renowned brass instrument artisan Bob Malone, the Malone Pipe offers a rich and brilliant tone with excellent projection, which brings total expression to your music. Originally a trumpet player himself, Bob Malone opened his own custom brass shop in Los Angeles in 1983. ince Bob joined Yamaha's Research and Development team in 2001, his Malone Pipe design has made its way into a number of Xeno Artist models and Custom series instruments, including the Yamaha Xeno Artist YTR9445 'Chicago' C Trumpet.
