This is Promenade Music’s top-line professional model Eb/D trumpet and it has a brilliant tone with crisp clear attack and excellent control in the high register. Though originally used primarily for Baroque music, Eb/D trumpets are increasingly used by solo and orchestral players for security with difficult high passages as well as for the clarity and lyrical qualities of sound.
The 6610S features a fixed bell design with a complete set of slides to convert it to either Eb or D. It has a durable silver-plate finish and offers highly accurate intonation. Its Monel pistons are resistant to corrosion and are an ideal choice for professional trumpet pistons which must retain precise fit and smooth action over many years; and its hammered one-piece bell has an axial seam (length-wise), making a continuous extension of the instruments material. This results in pure, uniform resonance and superior tone.
The hammered yellow-brass bell produces a slightly more intense, yet pure and perfectly-balanced tone with quick response and extra presence due to advanced manufacturing techniques.
The trumpet has hand-lapped valves and slides which ensures an absolutely perfect fit and seal between the valves and the casing and slide parts. The perfect fit helps to achieve smooth air flow and smooth action and improve the response and intonation of the instrument.
Perfectly rounded tubing is used which results in less turbulence and a smoother air flow, thus allowing for an excellent scale and reduced resistance; and a high-energy laser fuses the brass together for a virtually seamless bell which allows continuous even vibrations.
As with all Yamaha light-weight trumpets, the YTR-6610S has an unbraced tuning slide which makes the trumpet comfortably open with less resistance and its one-piece, drawn, gold brass lead-pipe offers excellent intonation, response and proper resistance. The step bore design is a medium bore trumpet fitted with a large bore tuning slide. This design allows for smoother air flow with less resistance.
