Contact UsThe Custom Z was born of Yamaha’s long and close partnership with legendary trumpet player Bobby Shew and is a common trumpet in Midwestern college jazz band programs. In 2018 Yamaha and Bobby collaborated to create a second-generation YTR-8310Z, further refining the brilliant tone and well-balanced playing resistance demanded by contemporary styles. To match the musical nuance he’s known for, Bobby needed a versatile, efficient instrument that could wail out powerful lead lines and also play soft, mellow ballads. Yamaha has developed the new Custom Z to satisfy all of Bobby’s playing requirements while retaining the highest level of precision and consistency.
Features
New Two-piece Valve Casing
In order to produce the powerful, well-defined tone that today’s jazz players demand, the conventional one-piece valve casing has been replaced with a two-piece design. This refinement adds depth and core to the instrument’s tone while also balancing the playing resistance. As with all of our instruments at Sweetwater Band & Orchestra, our world-class repair technicians have looked at this instrument to make sure it meets the rigorous demands of today’s players. When you select the trumpet that works best for you, our repair team will be happy to take one more look to ensure you are getting an instrument that is ready to play immediately.
One-piece Side-seam Bell
A one-piece, Yellow brass bell plays an important role in achieving a brilliant tone and outstanding projection. The bell also features a side seam that passes through the points where tubing braces dampen vibration, for more open resonance.
French Bead Bell Rim
Unlike traditional methods that produce a round bell rim, the more advanced French bead technique results in a flat-dome rim shape that enhances feedback to the performer.
TR-SHEW-JAZZ Mouthpiece
This jazz mouthpiece has a fairly deep, roomy cup for a big, warm sound. The throat and backbore are designed to provide enough “jump and snap” to nimbly maneuver through quick jazz passages with rich, full tone.
TRC-801E Case

First slide button serves to fine tune the blowing resistance for optimum control.

Features
Each Artisan Bb trumpet is made with a one-piece, hand-hammered Yellow brass bell with a flat rim, and special acoustic treatment in both the material and the manufacturing process. The result is a beautiful Bach Stradivarius sound with a larger core and a broader range of color. The two-piece valve construction, with nickel balusters and brass casings, harkens back to the construction techniques used by Vincent Bach when making classic Bach trumpets in New York City and Mount Vernon, New York. Monel pistons along with two sets of brass and plastic valve guides offer the player a choice in response and feel. The third valve tone-enhancing ring offers yet another choice in response. The extended third slide rod stop allows the player to extend the range to low F. The first slide split ring, enhanced radius ferrules, sculpted bracing, and artistic engraving are all key contributors to the unique response, while providing an unparalleled elegance in appearance. The silver-plated finish of the AB190S provides a controlled brilliance to the overall sound. These features, combined with a .459" medium-large bore, allow the player to produce a spectacular sound that is well-suited for all types of music.
