I played for 7 years through school on a Bach trumpet, and recently purchased this Yamaha YTR 3335 model after testing a few different Bb trumpets at a local music store here in Omaha, NE, USA.
The compression on the YTR 3335 is tight; the valves bounce and feel perfect to the touch. There is not much effort needed to push air through this model, and the bell sounds terrific and bright. A warm sound all around.
You won't go wrong with this intermediate model that wows like a professional sound.
The good folks at OzWinds processed my order quickly, and ensured the international shipping was flawless all the way through to my doorstep.
I saved what amounts to the full price of this trumpet by ordering through Ozwinds, as all other avenues (eBay, my local music stores, and national distributors of Yamaha instruments) were charging twice the price I got for this brand new model.
The best choice for your next instrument is from OzWinds. Thanks again for a great experience!
