Description
Trumpets are one of the oldest instruments in the world dating back to around 1500 BC. They are played by blowing air through closed lips creating a “buzzing” sound that eventually turns into beautiful music. When trumpets were first introduced they didn’t have all of the bells a whistles such as valves like modern trumpets have. They were generally made from brass tubing and bent twice into a rounded oblong shape. They also usually weren’t used for music purposes but for signaling instruments used by the military and for religious purposes. The modern trumpet has added quite a few features just adding greater quality sound and it has become the highest register in the brass family. In other words, trumpets are awesome! That being said, you need an awesome trumpet that sounds amazing and looks beautiful. The Yamaha YTR-200ADS has been designed by the same team who developed Yamaha’s top-of-the-line professional models. They included many of the same features such as the rich tone with accurate intonation, and the ability to either blend with the ensemble or project a solo. It features monel alloy pistons for quick and reliable valve action, a yellow-brass bell for a clear, resonant tone and a reverse main tuning slide for smooth resistance and airflow. The entire inner bore taper-from mouthpiece receiver to the bell-has been scientifically designed for beautiful tone color, comfortable response, and as much sound as you want. This intermediate level trumpet has a yellow brass body with a beautiful silver-plated finish. It also is backed by the well-known and powerful Yamaha name so you know its a high quality product! Trumpets have a rich and colorful history and they are like a fine wine, they only get better with age.
