Yamaha YTR9636 Professional Eb/D Trumpet

The YTR9636 has a rich and attractive tone and is widely used in both solo and orchestral performance due to its natural ability to shift from C. It has a newly designed leadpipe with a unique shape. Transitioning between D and Eb involves changing the main tuning slide and first and third valve slides rather than by changing the bell.

Development Artist

The YTR9636 was developed with John Hagstrom of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

Design 

The design incorporates a unique "S" shape leadpipe configuration utilizing the MC1 leadpipe taper from the "Chicago" series Artist Model trumpets. This helps to produce exceptional intonation and response characteristics.

Hand-lapped piston and slides

Hand-lapping pistons and slides ensures an absolutely perfect fit and seal between the piston 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 resulting in less turbulence and a smoother air flow, thus allowing for an excellent scale and reduced one-piece bell.

Hand-hammered one-piece bell

A one-piece bell has a side 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.
