"The 8310Z was born of Yamaha's long and close partnership
with the legendary trumpeter Bobby Shew. Bobby is an incredibly
versatile player, and to meet all his playing requirements
he wanted to create one super efficient instrument which could
scream out a powerful lead, or play soft, mellow ballads.
He finally found that instrument in the Z. When we decided
to try to improve the Z, trumpet designer Shunichi Niwata
and R&D specialist Bob Malone worked together with Bobby,
passing into it all the special techniques we'd learned since
designing the first Z. And the results speak for themselves"
Monel pistons
Monel pistons are resistant to corrosion and are an ideal
choice for professional trumpet pistons which must retain
precise fit and smooth action over many years.
Unique Bell Bead Design
This design allows for a more resonant and projecting sound.
Hammered one-piece bell
The newly designed yellow brass bell features a side seam
and a variable wall thickness. This new manufacturing process
results in a quicker response, a deeper rich sound, a wider
spectrum of tone colours and better projection.
Hand lapped pistons and slides
Hand-lapping pistons and slides ensures an absolutely perfect
fit and seal between the pistons and casing or slide parts.
Such a perfect fit helps to achieve smooth air flow and smooth
action and improves the response and intonation of the instrument.
Laser-fused pluzuma welded bell
A high-energy laser fuses the brass together for a virtually
seamless bell which allows continuous even vibrations.
Unbraced reversed tuning slide
As with all Yamaha lightweight trumpets, the YTR-8310Z has
an unbraced inner outer tuning slide which makes the trumpet
comfortably open with less resistance.
One-piece, drawn, gold brass leadpipe
This type of leadpipe offers excellent intonation, response
and proper resistance.
Large bell flare and large bore tuning slide
The large bore tuning slide and large bell flare in combination
with the stepped bore design allows this medium bore trumpet
to produce a very big sound with very little effort.
