Designed in collaboration with David Washburn of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, the Yamaha YTR-9385 is a pro-level piccolo trumpet that's primed for anything. The YTR-9385's 1-piece, 4-inch, yellow brass bell projects a well-balanced tone with snappy response and extra presence, while its axial seam ensures pure, uniform resonance and superior tone. This trumpet's .445-inch bore elicits a focused, brilliant sound, and it comes with two sets of leadpipes in both Bb and A with trumpet and cornet mouthpiece receivers. Hand-lapping valves and slides ensure a snug fit and tight seal between the valves and casing or slide parts. You'll appreciate how the YTR-9385's pressure-formed tubing yields less turbulence and smoother air flow for optimal blowing resistance, in addition to how its silver-plated brass body lends a brilliant sheen to every note you play. If you're searching for a lightweight, high-performance piccolo trumpet, the Yamaha YTR-9385 is worthy of a top-level trumpeter.
