Yamaha YTR-8310Z Trumpet — Bobby Shew Artist Model
The Yamaha YTR-8310Z trumpet is one of the most respected jazz and commercial trumpets in the Yamaha lineup. Originally designed in collaboration with legendary artist Bobby Shew, this model is celebrated for its effortless response, rich tone, and flexibility in all registers. This particular YTR-8310Z came directly from a Yamaha artist and was hand-selected from multiple other horns available at the time, making it truly special.
Although technically classified as "used," this trumpet is practically new — it was only played a few times and is in absolutely perfect condition. The current version of this Bobby Shew model sells new today for over $2,400, so this instrument represents a remarkable opportunity to acquire a pro-level Yamaha trumpet at significant savings.
Ideal for jazz trumpet players, lead players, or anyone seeking an easy, free-blowing Bb trumpet with excellent projection, the 8310Z stands out for its brilliant yet warm sound. Whether you're looking to light up a big band, record in a studio, or perform in a small combo, this model gives you the control and color needed to adapt to any musical situation.
This YTR-8310Z comes with a deluxe double trumpet case, making it a great option for traveling players or those needing extra storage space for mutes and accessories. A mouthpiece and other original accessories are included, so it's ready to play right out of the case — no additional setup or service required.
Why do so many top jazz and commercial trumpet players prefer the Yamaha Bobby Shew model over other high-end options? It often comes down to Yamaha’s unparalleled consistency, versatile design, and the input of working artists who know exactly what performers need.
