Hello,
Concerns the new yamaha 6335RC.

Few news, comments or reviews in the last months.
Are there any members here who have recently purchased or play-tested this trumpet?

All info is welcome because I am in the run for a new trumpet.
(now Yamaha 5335G)

Thank You in advance.

The only thing I have heard about this instrument is that Louis Dowdeswell just switched to it from a Bach 37 after about a year as an endorsing artist.

I had an opportunity to have <very famous Yamaha brass guru> work on one of my horns while at a contest in the early spring.

At that time, we started talking about commercial trumpet options and <X> recommended that I check out a new commercial horn that was going to be released fairly soon, but was only in the prototype stages at that time. Thought it would be better than any of their other commercial style horns when it came out.

Told me it was being play-tested in various prototype forms by some big-name pros, but not any names, or a release date. Basically "You're going to love this horn when it comes out, but I can't tell you any details right now."

I can't help but wonder if this YTR-6335RC is that horn we were talking about. It sure seems like it given the timing. I'd love to get a chance to try one out. From the sound of things, it was developed in Germany and may be available in the EU before it shows up in the states.

One of my mates in Athens big band (the lead player) get it before a month, I play it for five minutes and it was a very good horn , not so open as my Lawler but a well balanced horn with with great projection and very secure high registers,my buddy like it a lot (he use to play lead with a old Xeno 8335G) , I will play it again in September after the vacations.

Regards

I talked to someone who sampled on up in the Twin Cities recently and they thought that it would be not just a lighter lead type horn but very versatile and an all arounder. That sounds very positive.

It is my main trumpet for all my work (shows, recordings, big band and even some classic) is an incredible instrument. a spectacular center, perfect tuning throughout the record, good sound. I had never had a Yamaha trumpet professionally, but I played a few notes with it and quickly took out my credit card

This trumpet was built by the German Yamaha Master-Builder Eddie Veit.

There is a very good review in comparison to the 8310Z on the german website trumpetscout.de

Just put it in Google translator and you got it!

According to Yamaha itself, it is indeed an all-rounder.

A few Italian top trumpeters have also started using the 6335RC (but they are Yamaha endorsers).

I think it's weird that she's so cheap ... 1790 Euro.
I hope to order the trumpet in the fall if I don't get too many negative reviews.

Thank you all for your responses so far.

Hopefully more will come.

So far. I've only seen it in lacquer over brass. Have not seen a silver plate or any other finish option.

Thomann has it listed for only $1600 US which seems to be either a mistake, or one hell of a deal.

Indeed ... 6335RC only in lacquer.

Yamaha want keeping the price low??

Thanks Orban,
Mellowed out my whole morning. Of course it is the player that makes the horn, not the horn that makes the player, but nice to hear this model in action! Nice sweet sound.

It doesn't appear that they are being sold in the US yet. Brasswind is only carrying the old 6335 model from what I can see (not the 6335RC)

I have an acquaintance that said they played on one in the Twin Cities a few weeks ago. If what you say is true the horn had to be used. I can't see Yamaha not selling them here if they have such positive reviews

thanks for that update. so, evidently, some people have them but you can't buy them? it still sounds like a great all around horn. I am still interested if something opens up please start a string in here.
