Yamaha YTR H-II Heavyweight Trumpet. Stunning condition! Must be seen!
Stunning condition! Must be seen to be appreciated A true professional instrument - forerunner to the Yamaha 'Xeno' series One careful owner and very little use from new - in pristine condition No dings, dents, scratches or other undesirables Valves operate smoothly - slides move freely Beautiful two-tone brass & silver finish Complete with original carry case, etc. Supplied with a Vincent Bach 7C mouthpiece Features Monel pistons Monel pistons are resistant to corrosion and are an ideal choice for professional trumpet pistons which must retain precise fit and smooth action over many years. Hand-hammered one-piece bell A one-piece bell has an axial (lengthwise) seam, making it a continuous extension of the instrument's material. This results in pure, uniform resonance and superior tone. A hammered yellow brass bell produces a perfectly-balanced tone with quick response and extra presence due to advanced manufacturing. Annealed bell Yamaha employs special computer-controlled annealing equipment to ensure that the end result of this heating and cooling process is a consistently superior sound. Hand-lapped pistons and slides Hand-lapping pistons and slides ensures an absolutely perfect fit and seal between the pistons and casing or slide parts. Such a perfect fit helps to achieve smooth air flow and smooth action and improve the response and intonation of the instrument. Pressure-formed tubing Perfectly rounded tubing results in less turbulence and a smoother air flow, thus allowing for an excellent scale and reduced resistance. Laser-fused pluzuma welded bell A high-energy laser fuses the brass together for a virtually seamless bell which allows continuous even vibrations. One-piece drawn gold brass leadpipe This type of leadpipe offers excellent intonation, response and proper resistance. Double main tuning slide braces The main tuning slide on the YTR-HII has double braces which help the response and tonal color of the instrument. Specially treated metal Through research, Yamaha designers have developed a process for treating metal that enables the heavyweight trumpets to deliver more power, better control, and richer sound. Leadpipe thickness The thickness of the leadpipe helps the trumpet have a better tone and response. Metal thickness The heavyweight trumpets have heavier metal through the instrument than the standard weight trumpets. Thicker metal helps the trumpets deliver a darker tone that does not break up with volume. Metal valve guides Darkened sound and improved tonal projection are the result of metal valve guides.
