Designed for high-level symphonic players, the YTR-9445CHSIII Xeno Artist is a top-of-the-line member of Yamaha's Chicago Series. This trumpet's rugged monel valves are housed in a refined valve casing, which works in concert with lightweight pistons to produce off-the-charts response and clarity ? especially during detailed passages. The YTR-9445CHSIII's 0.459-inch bore elicits superb presence and brilliance; its rubber water key cork offers increased resistance to deterioration and contributes to this trumpet's otherworldly definition, projection, and response. This horn's Malone Pipe (MC1) leadpipe combines with a lightweight mouthpiece receiver to extend your tone and response while ensuring ideal blowing resistance. You also get a 1-piece, 4-7/8-inch, yellow brass bell with a French bead rim that maximizes this trumpet's resonance and projection. The YTR-9445CHSIII's bell is narrower toward the valve casing and its square-cornered bell bow ensures balanced resistance, unparalleled dimensionality, and a powerful tonal core that improves your upper-register playability. You'll appreciate the YTR-9445CHSIII's resonance-enhancing water key design, in addition to how its silver-plated brass body lends a brilliant sheen to every note you play. The Yamaha YTR-9445CHSIII Xeno Artist is tailor-made for players with discerning tastes ? the ones that can appreciate the unique nuances of an elite-level horn. If this describes you, the YTR-9445CHSIII may just well be the last trumpet you'll ever need to buy.

Tailor-made for discriminating players





Serious symphonic players searching for a heavyweight horn with uncanny presence and brilliance, along with outstanding playing resistance, will find much to appreciate in the YTR-9445CHSIII Xeno Artist. Based on leadpipes designed by renowned brass instrument artisan Bob Malone, this trumpet's extra-thick Malone Pipe (MC1) leadpipe and lightweight mouthpiece receiver offer an ideal level of breath resistance that you'll feel right from the first note. Its 0.459-inch bore permits you to create a brilliant, larger-than-life sound with excellent projection. The YTR-9445CHSIII's rugged monel valves yield smooth, quick action and excellent resistance to impact damage, moisture, and air leaks, while its refined valve casing and lightweight pistons infuse detailed passages with unprecedented response and clarity. To top it off, the design of this horn's bell braces achieves a responsive feel and brilliant, well-centered tone.





1-piece bell with French bead





Constructed from yellow brass, the Yamaha YTR-9445CHSIII Xeno Artist's 1-piece, 4-7/8-inch bell is narrower near the trumpet's valve casing, with a square-cornered bell bow for ultra-balanced breath resistance. The YTR-9445CHSIII also includes a French bead bell rim ? a flat-dome rim shape that further bolsters this horn's resonance and projection. The YTR-9445CHSIII features a silver-plated brass body, which produces an ear-grabbing brilliant quality. At Sweetwater, we've also found that this trumpet's silver-plated finish gives it a gleaming, polished look.
