From Yamaha's Band & Orchestral Division, the YTR-9445NYS Artist Model C Trumpet, the YTR-9335NYS Artist Model Bb trumpet and the YTR-9335CHS Artist Model Bb trumpet are the newest instruments to undergo a fundamental reexamination by skilled craftsmen and prominent musicians of the way instruments are conceived and tested.

The YTR-9445NYS and YTR-9335NYS were designed especially for use by top orchestral, classical, jazz and commercial performance professionals. Manufactured and designed to the highest quality standards, the instruments feature the combined input of Yamaha brass designer Bob Malone and Cleveland Orchestra trumpeter Robert Sullivan. The French bead bell rim with low dome wire improves the sound projection from the bell due to the refined, sharper bell rim edge. It also utilizes the MC2NY, based on Malone's classic lead pipe designs.
