The Yamaha YTR-8340EM Miyashiro trumpets are killer commercial horns, lightweight and responsive with a multi-bore design. This horn will really shine as a dedicated horn for lead playing, or to complement your everyday all-around trumpet. The Miyashiro has a wonderfully vibrant sound profile, perfect for soloing or soaring over the band. There is some cosmetic scratching on the lacquer, especially around the leadpipe. There is also some minor wear around the valve block and other typical contact points (see photos). This horn has also had a bit of work done on the bell by our friends at heritage music repair. These horns typically sell pretty quick, so don't wait too long on this one!

Yamaha says:
This model, developed in collaboration with Eric Miyashiro, draws out the emotional resonance of the performer. From its triple ring finger hook, large bell with French bead, and side seam finish the instrument showcases Yamaha’s attention to detail at every turn.
Multi-bore
When the piston is not depressed, the trumpet has the same bore structure as a Bb trumpet as M bore size. However when the piston is depressed, the unique “multi-bore” structure reduces the difference in back pressure by passing through the L bore valve slide.
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 Bell
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.
