Yamaha YTR-6335RC Commercial

This is a great trumpet for commercial/lead playing. The sound on the brighter side and you can get a lot of the brighter overtones out of the trumpet which helps to cut through a big band and be easily heard, the trumpet does not close-up in the high register and above high C as some intermediate and professional trumpets may do when playing high.

Bear in mind when purchasing as this is not an all-round trumpet and may not have the desired sound to fit into a classical setting, given its brighter sound tendency.

It is a very efficient horn and doesn't take much to get the desired sound out of this trumpet. It does respond well to mouthpiece choice.

There are a few things to bear in mind, the finger buttons are quite small for me personally ( I ordered custom buttons which made a big difference in comfort). There are some specific tuning tendencies on this trumpet to be mindful of as compared to trumpets from other manufacturers.

Overall, this is fantastic commercial trumpet at a great price point. There are some specific considerations with this trumpet and it is not an all-round trumpet, but definitely a fantastic choice and doesn't hold you back from achieving your desired sound and playing.
