YAMAHA BAND & ORCHESTRA
Yamaha introduces the YTR-9335VS Allen Vizzutti Signature Artist Model trumpet in the key of Bb, developed by Yamaha trumpet artist Allen Vizzutti and Yamaha Artist Services Band & Orchestral Atelier director Bob Malone. Although similar to the New York Artist Model trumpet, the new horn features a number of specialized design features, including brass valve stems and
gray finger-button pearls. In addition, the third valve slide stop screw includes a solid screw head, which improves the instrument’s overall feel and response. Similarities to the Chicago Artist Model trumpet include placement of the first valve slide brace and third valve slide. The YTR-9335VS will retail for $4,500.
