Yamaha YTR-8335RGS Xeno Professional TrumpetThe 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. Extra-heavy mouthpiece receiver keeps tone focused throughout the entire range of the instrument. Reversed main tuning slide promotes a "free blowing" feel to the horn. 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 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. Hand-lapped pistons and slides ensure 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. One-piece drawn mouthpipe offers excellent intonation, response and proper resistance. Specially treated metal enables the heavyweight trumpets to deliver more power, better control, and richer sound. Thicker mouthpipe helps the trumpet have a better tone and response.

I have had this trumpet for about a year and love it. I bought it on this site without trying it out but it doesn't matter. The tone is amazing. It is easier to play high notes because of the reversed lead pipe.
I have always played Yamaha trumpets. When I purchased the Xeno, my outlook was completely changed. Suddenly I didn't have to work as hard to play the horn! It is also a great horn for all styles of music. I take it to the orchestra and also to play in a jazz big band. I have never felt a trumpet that feels this easy to play and sounds so good!
Sounds powerful! Records great! Has the response of a light weight horn but the sound and projection of a heavy horn. I can't describe it. It's like nothing you've ever played before!
I have been playing for over 20 years and I have always played the Bach Strad......until now. This is undoubtedly the BEST horn I have ever played. You can really hit the upper register with this one, and, at the same time, let the horn do most of the work. I was so impressed that I bought two of them!
Undoubted this is the best trumpet I have ever played. I was nearly persuaded into buying a Bach Strad but the Yamaha is in a completely different league. In the high register it seems to just keep opening up the higher you go while maintaining its tuning. There are not a lot of trumpets that you can say that about! The Bach Strad is a fine trumpet but the Yamaha is the choice of any true professional. If you have played this trumpet you'll know what I mean! If you are thinking of purchasing a new trumpet, forget the Strad. This is by far the most superior horn!
