Trent had this horn as a part of his collection for a time but has decided to let it go to a new home as he is mainly playing cornet now. This is the Gen II Yamaha 8330 and it is a great and versatile instrument. The YTR-8330EM Eric Miyashiro model trumpet is an excellent lightweight, big-bell trumpet for all-around playing but especially suited to commercial music. This horn is pre-owned but is in fantastic shape. there is a minor ping on the second valve slide and some very minor scratching on the bell near the brace closes to the receiver. Beyond this, it is in phenomenal shape and plays even better. The valve action is fantastic and the slides all move smoothly. Don't miss out on this excellent instrument!

FROM YAMAHA:
New design leadpipe and mouthpiece receiver
Thanks to just the right amount of playing resistance, high notes are easier to reach and overall control is notably improved.
Step bore (ML)
A step bore* (ML) design has been adopted to achieve optimum playability and tonal consistency throughout the instrument’s range.
*The main tuning slide has an L bore, the valve slides have an ML bore, and the pistons have an M bore. This helps to maintain smooth, consistent playability when all three valves are open or fingered in any combination.
Phosphor bronze parts (Bottom caps / 3rd slide stopper)
To achieve optimum tone and playability, numerous prototypes were made using different materials of different weights. The result was the adoption of phosphor bronze bottom caps and slide stopper for the first time in the Yamaha trumpet lineup. The new parts contribute to a brilliant high register as well as greater harmonic richness in the middle registers.
Main tuning slide brace
A unique tuning slide brace shape that reduces resistance when compared to conventional braces evens out resonance by minimizing variations in playing feel and resistance. The position of the brace has also been revised in the new model, to achieve optimum overall playability.
Bell
Large one-piece bell (134.4mm, 5-1/4") provides powerful sound and quick response.
French Bead
Unlike traditional methods where a round rim is used in curling, French bead is an extremely advanced technique that matches the curling to the shape of a semi-cylindrical rim and is characterized by improved feedback of sound to the performer.
Side Seam
Side seaming is the process of placing the connection point on the lateral valve casing side in contrast to the conventional method of placing the connection point on the lower side of the bell. Side seam trumpets are characterized by a more open vibration.
Comes with Case but no Mouthpiece
