When a manufacturer like Yamaha collaborates with an internationally renowned artist like Jeroen Berwaerts, the result can only be exceptional. The new YTR-8335EA is more than just a top-of-the-range Bb Custom trumpet: it offers a true sound experience, designed for demanding musicians looking for personality, precision and versatility in equal measure.
A Trumpet made in Yamaha’s European workshop in Hamburg
In collaboration with artist Jeroen Berwaerts, the instrument was designed in Hamburg.
Yamaha artist, “Belgian trumpeter Jeroen Berwaerts is a musical force whose unconditional love of music knows no genre boundaries. Highly regarded worldwide for his exceptional technical skills and sensitive musicianship, he explores a repertoire spanning all eras, from Baroque to contemporary music and jazz.”
The YTR-8335EA embodies a new vision of the modern trumpet: an instrument capable of offering a rich, expressive and deeply musical palette of sounds.
The objective was clear: to create a trumpet with an unprecedented sound, capable of conveying every emotional Dynamic with naturalness and power.
As Jeroen Berwaerts describes it:
“This is the most versatile trumpet I’ve ever played.”
From orchestral repertoire to solo works, from delicate pianissimos to dazzling fortissimos, the YTR-8335EA responds with remarkable fluidity.
Pink copper bell for a Singing sound
This choice of material is not just aesthetic: pink copper brings particularly balanced harmonics and impressive sonic depth. The result is a warm, lilting, refined sound, while retaining beautiful projection and remarkable clarity.
What’s more, the bell rim (the reinforcement placed around the bell in the rim) is French-style. This means it’s thinner and lighter than the traditional “American” rush, providing a more open, supple and resonant sound.
Immediate response and exceptional playability
The YTR-8335EA benefits from a completely redesigned cup and mouthpiece branch.
The lighter cup considerably improves the instrument’s responsiveness, while the new classically tapered embouchure branch with reduced venturi* facilitates delivery in all dynamics.
* Venturi is a physical effect. It appears when a fluid passes through a narrower area, causing it to accelerate. As it accelerates, its pressure drops, which can create suction.
In practical terms, this means:
- Precise attack,
- Excellent flexibility,
- An even response throughout the entire range,
- And a particularly natural Playing style.
Musicians will immediately appreciate the ease with which the instrument accompanies their musical intentions.
A Trumpet to suit your playing style
Another highlight: the ability to adjust the playing feel to your preferences.
The YTR-8335EA comes with:
- 3 standard lower plugs,
- 1 heavy phosphor bronze plug,
- As well as a second, detachable spacer.
These elements make it possible to subtly modify the resistance, projection and overall feel of the instrument to obtain a configuration perfectly adapted to the musician.
This approach reflects the “workshop” spirit of the model: to offer a lively, customizable and deeply personal instrument.
A Trumpet for everyone
The Yamaha YTR-8335EA is a professional instrument aimed at all trumpeters seeking an instrument capable of adapting to all musical situations.
Its remarkable versatility means you can play classical or contemporary music, alone or in an Orchestra.
