Does anyone have experience with these older models? Just wondering what the differences were - especially how they played.

I guess you mean the cornet. Lightweight: 6330. Heavyweight: 6335. In as far as I can recall, 6335 has triggers. 6330 has hooks. 6330 is close to 2330 and 4330. 6335 is closer to Xeno.

In the Uk the model is known as the YCR6335H Maestro Cornet and was aimed at the BBB sector. But I have a feeling internationally it was only known as the 6335 and am also not sure if they were exactly the same (anyone know?). As for the 6330 it has a smaller bore of 0.462 rather than 0.470 of the 6335H and was not really sold / popular in the uk so rare to see them.

I play the YCR6335H Maestro (every week for the last 15 years!) at the moment and find it a great instrument, the lower register is quite full compared to my sovereign 921. The high A can be a little thin / tight so I tend to use 3rd valve (it is a known issue with this model).

This was the forerunner to the Xeno and then Neo cornet. So it went
Meastro > Xeno > Neo.

I recently got my hands on an older 6335S cornet. This is different from the 6335H (Maestro) with triggers. My 6335 has finger hooks, a tuning slide brace, and a slightly tighter wrap. According to the 1987 brochure (courtesy of YamahaCollector) it has a 0.463” bore similar to the 6330 and also came with a dual trigger option.

I had no idea the 6335 (non H) series of cornets ever existed until I found mine and I am really enjoying it. It almost seems like a happy medium between the 6330 and the 6335H/Maestro/Xeno/Neo. It plays much more open and less stuffy than the vintage 733 I briefly owned (predecessor to 6330) but less dark/wooffy than the Neo I once tried. It’s possible I didn’t have the right mouthpiece for the Neo, but my 6335 plays equally well with a deep brass band mouthpiece and a Curry DC.

I’m not sure if the 6335 (non H) was produced in limited numbers or just didn’t sell well, but mine is the first one I ever remember seeing for sale or in use, with one exception - it was the horn used by Joe Burgstaller in Canadian Brass’s classic Hornsmoke performance: https://youtu.be/wk7iBt8EPmM

I feel lucky to play the Yamaha 6330s that I picked up from Brandon Ridenour. He left a lot of good notes in it and I find them once in a while. I play in the back row of my British style brass band, but still one of the tubas leaned over to tell me it was a pleasure to hear a beautiful instrument play. The mouthpiece is a Curry 7DC.

I do mean to introduce myself to Brandon and thank him. Maybe the next time I see him at Midwest.
