This Yamaha YTR-8335R Xeno is a superb example of Yamaha’s flagship professional Bb trumpet line — presented here in very mint, gently used condition. It recently underwent a complete shop service, including a full chemical cleaning, valve alignment and lubrication, replacement of pads and felts, and a fresh silver polish to restore its brilliant finish. The result is a horn that looks virtually new and plays with remarkable clarity, efficiency, and projection.
The YTR-8335R is part of Yamaha’s respected Xeno Series, designed in collaboration with leading orchestral players to meet the demands of professional performance. It features a reverse leadpipe design for freer airflow, a hand-hammered one-piece yellow brass bell for rich resonance, and monel pistons for smooth, durable valve action. This model has long been favored by advancing students ready to move beyond an intermediate instrument, as well as by experienced players seeking Yamaha’s trademark precision and consistency.
This trumpet showed no evidence of prior damage or dent work, and it required no mechanical repairs beyond routine service. It came with its original Yamaha case and two exceptionally clean mouthpieces, including one gold-plated model — a nice premium touch.
As of 2025, a brand new YTR-8335R sells for well over $3,300, making this gently used example a tremendous value at the time of sale.
