Yamaha partnered with Bobby Shew to create the TR-SHEW-JAZZ, the legendary musician's signature trumpet mouthpiece. This mouthpiece comes with a standard cup depth and a slightly larger diameter, which produces extra warmth and depth of tone. Beyond that, the TR-SHEW-LEAD has a semi-thick rim with a semi-round contour for lasting comfort. Players around Sweetwater note that the roomier throat and backbore give the player enough jump and snap to navigate jazz passages with ease. If you’re ready to elevate your jazz trumpet tone, then be sure to audition the Yamaha TR-SHEW-JAZZ Bobby Shew signature trumpet mouthpiece.
