Yamaha YTR9445CHSII Chicago C Trumpet

Description
Xeno Artist Model trumpets are based on in-depth research into vintage instruments that are considered masterpieces, but they are not simply reproductions. All materials and parts have been thoroughly reviewed, and construction refined to deliver unprecedented balance and performance. Ongoing collaboration with leading artists around the world continues to elevate Xeno Artist Model performance to new heights.
The Chicago Series was developed in close cooperation with John Hagstrom of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. A fusion of orthodox style and state-of-the-art design achieves free blowing resistance and a tone that is both brilliant and deep. The C and Bb trumpets have consistently outstanding feel and playability throughout their ranges, so switching instruments is smooth and seamless.
Utilizing a leadpipe that is thicker than current designs, an original style Malone Pipeâ„¢ (MC1), and a lighter mouthpiece receiver, we have achieved improved tone and response while providing the performer with ideal blowing resistance. A finger hook that is not soldered to the leadpipe is provided. You will hear and feel the difference in tone quality and response.
The design of the bell braces achieves quick response with a brilliant, well-centered tone. Although the position of the YTR-9335CHS tuning slide brace is unique for a Bb instrument, the distance between the mouthpiece receiver and tuning slide brace on the YTR-9335CHS and YTR-9445CHS are similar when the slide is extended for tuning, so that consistent playability is achieved when switching between Bb and C trumpets
The first valve side has a special brace for a stronger focus to the core of the tone, resulting in unparalleled definition and clarity.
Unlike traditional methods where a round rim curl is used, a French bead is an advanced technique that matches the curl to the shape of a semi-cylindrical rim and is characterized by improved feedback of sound to the performer.
The leadpipes are based on Bob Malone's own design, and on the C trumpet is a long taper that ends in a reversed tuning slide. These leadpipes are largely responsible for the tonal expressivity of the trumpets, and you will find that notes slot easily and comfortably in all ranges, with exceptionally accurate intonation.
