The second generation of Yamaha NY model trumpets are a perfect fit for me to play with the Philadelphia Orchestra. The trumpets have a sound that is both rich and brilliant, feature a free and open feel, and have improved upon the even sound and solid intonation that has long been a trademark of Yamaha trumpets.

I like my Yamaha most importantly for the ease of sound production. I just pick it up, send the air through and the horn does the rest! The instrument helps to create the sound I have in my head. I love knowing it won’t create any obstacles, in fact, it enhances what I’m trying to achieve musically. The Yamaha’s consistent sound through the ranges and reliable intonation make my job so much easier! Plus, the quick response is a game changer. The design of these instruments offers incredibly subtle and sensitive initial response, allowing me to take risks in the orchestra--my Yamaha is always right there to support me.

In the fall of 2007, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra recorded Pictures at an Exhibition at Roy Thomson hall in Toronto. It was the first time I had ever played the New York Generation One Yamaha C trumpet with the TSO. Of course, it was a gamble to switch trumpets just before a live recording session, but in my short time practicing the new trumpet I could feel how easy and responsive it was. Put simply it was easier to play than my regular C trumpet. My only concern was would I still sound the same? That question was quickly answered at the first rehearsal break when a friend of mine in the orchestra asked if I had made any changes to my equipment. I said why, does it sound different. They replied yes, a lot better… I have been on the Yamaha ever since and never looked back!

Principal Trumpet - Montreal Symphony Orchestra

YTR-9445CHS, YTR-8335SII

Since I began playing Yamaha instruments , I have a renewed sense of ease and efficiency in my playing .

Intonation, response, and sound quality have made me inspired to go to the practice room and push the instrument and my playing to more advanced levels of technical possibilities and explore even more variety in my musical appetite. I worked closely with Bob Malone and Wayne Tanabe to find a soundscape that could offer me lots of color change opportunities and to maximize ring and spin in the resonance. The results have been extraordinary and I’m proud to play these horns and also to represent the company as a Yamaha artist. It has also been wonderful to collaborate with such a dynamic and progressive team that is the Yamaha family worldwide.

When I’m playing my horn on the stage, all I want to do is paint the air with my colorful sound. It’s fun thinking about, ‘How can I?’ and ‘How should I?’ The choices between long and short strokes, quick or slow, high in the canvas or low, bright color or dark, with fat brush or skinny pen ... the fact is, I make up my mind and play them before I know it. I paint with one note at a time. … Only some instruments can let musicians be in a true world of art.

I’ve been playing Yamaha trumpets and flugelhorns for most of my professional career, stretching back four decades. I’ve owned practically every Xeno model, in some cases several of them. My current horn is the 25th Anniversary Xeno, which I’ve been playing since it was released. I wouldn’t have purchased as many trumpets as I have if not for Yamaha’s determination to innovate and push the boundaries of trumpet design. There is always something new on the horizon, and the horns just keep getting better and better, to the point that Yamaha has to be considered the world leader in trumpet design and manufacture. The Xeno label encompasses a range of horns, each with a specific personality, but a with a shared baseline of excellent playing characteristics. I could pick virtually any model off the line and feel comfortable playing it in any musical situation, which in my case ranges from lead trumpet to small group jazz. I would be remiss in not mentioning Yamaha’s commitment to music education, which is, in my experience, far beyond any other company, and a major reason why I am proud to call myself a Yamaha Artist.

I play Yamaha trumpets because they allow me to play with any colour of sound I want and feel great to play in any situation. A lot of instruments corner you into playing a particular way and put their own stamp on your playing. With Yamaha, regardless of the style of music I am playing - whether it's new music, Baroque music, chamber music, or large orchestral works - I'm able mold the sound into whatever I want without the trumpet forcing me into one sound. When I work with students who are playing Yamaha trumpets, I feel that we're able to address their technical and musical needs rather than worrying about their choice of equipment interfering with their progress.

Yamaha trumpets always present me the highest level of intonation and consistency, which assured every kind of preformance situation I have faced.

There is always such trouble for Orchestra bands that the balance of the music played is so hard to control due to different brands of instruments used. However, such problem does not exist for Yamaha players, no such brand can keep high standard through the whole Ochestra industry other than Yamaha, and this is why I recommend Yamaha trumpets to all my students.

I have been using Yamaha trumpets for more than 20 years. At first, when I tried Xeno trumpets, I was stunned by how presice the intonation was, and how beautiful the sound was played.

As the time past, especially after I became a Yamaha artist and started to work with Yamaha workers, I was completely charmed by their workmanship.

Demand among different musicians varies due to different preformance situations. Some needs mellow sound and some needs powerful sound, some needs consistency and some needs explosiveness. In order to satisfy all these demands, Yamaha team would communicate with artists and cooperate with them to design new models. It was fantastic experience working with them.

The supplied TR14KMVGP mouthpiece brings out the full potential of these fine instruments.

When I was 11 years old, I received my very first trumpet from my father: a beautiful Yamaha 100S. From that moment, a long journey started... this Yamaha 100S trumpet has been with me from the day I had it till my college years at Peking University. Now, I've owned more than 10 Yamaha trumpets, but the 100S still plays!

People used to say, being a trumpet player is not easy, you will have to suffer the “loneliness of a long distance runner” as you try to figure out how to play and how to find your own sound. But during more than twenty years' journey as a student and a professional musician, with my Yamaha trumpets, I never felt lonely. Xeno trumpets became my buddies!

As an orchestral musician, or as a free improviser, I have to work with extremely demanding programs, and my Yamaha trumpets are always there to give me confidence. Every time I introduce Xeno to my colleagues or students, I can see smiles on their faces. I am so glad that more and more trumpet players in China became Xeno fans.

With their beautiful sound, great intonation, consistency and flexibility, Yamaha Xeno trumpets became the top choice on the market on the day they were launched. And Yamaha is still working on new models/generations today. Every time I try a new model, I am so amazed that I cannot wait to use it in concerts.

Yamaha is so much more than a world famous brand; it represents a spirit-- a spirit of patience, perfection, and workmanship. It is a great honor to be part of the Yamaha Family!

Happy 30th Birthday, Xeno! Let's Make Waves together!

The intonation of C trumpets always bothered me while playing since the taper of leader pipe is not enough. So when I tried my first Xeno C trumpet, I was amazed by its high level of intonation. I immediately asked them how did they manage to have such intonation, I then knew it was because of the hidden reverse lead pipe design.

With the great intonation, consistency, flexibility and amazing sound, I have accomplished countless extremely demanding program in the orchestra band. And the powerful sound of Xeno NY series can penetrate the entire band and reach the audience easily while I am playing melody part.

I am often asked by my friends, colleagues or students about what instrument I am using, and if they can try it after they hear my preformance. And when they put the mouthpiece on and start playing, most of them were amazed how easily the instrument can be played. Now most of trupet players around me are using Xeno.
