Yamaha 6335RC --- New model.

From what I've been able to gather so far, they're available in Europe, but not in the US yet. They were designed out of a Yamaha Atelier shop in Germany from what I have read. Perhaps they are being made there as well, instead of in Japan?

Could be limited supply, or just not made it over here on a big shipment yet.

The 6335RC again out of stock at Thomann (huge instruments shop in Germany).
I think they sell a lot of them.

Also positive...until now no B-stock. (items sended back by customers)

Andrea Tofanelli is really happy with his one

I do also own a RC since march. It's a great trumpet which is versatile enough to cover all my needs. Since I play it, my (really good) Benge 3X+ remains untouched.

I tried it for a few days...For me it was basically a 4335 with a reverse leadpipe.
Felt quite heavy for a commercial trumpet and it came with the type of case you get with a student horn.
Has a great sound and fantastic build quality that you would expect from a yamaha , but i preferred my Yamaha LA!

So the 4335 with the lead pipe of the 3335?!

The 4335 you can find over here for €700,- the 6335Rc for €2000,-

That is easy money for Yammie

Here you can see what parts are used on the RC (and search for other models as well)

Go back to my original post on the specs of the 6335RC and ask yourself some basic questions.

Yamaha has brought out some new models of trumpets in the last few years and they have spoken about purity of sound and the merits of a side seamed, hand hammered, one piece bell on their Custom Series and their Artist Series trumpets and at least hand hammered one piece bells on the Xeno Series, yet this model has a two piece bell like their student and intermediate models

Many performers and artists prefer a yellow brass bell (a purely subjective choice) over gold brass because they believe that it gives them a brighter sound and more projection that is desirable in a commercial trumpet. This model has a gold brass bell.

Yamaha specs a Y01 reversed lead pipe. What is a Y01 lead pipe? I can't find any information on it or any other Yamaha lead pipe, although I do have 8335 Xeno II RGS that is a fabulous horn. Does it have a Y01 lead pipe?

Recent improvements in the 8310Z and other models state that there is much improved response using a light weight two piece valve casing, yet this model has a one piece valve casing that Yamaha claims to improve response. So which is it? Does a one piece or a two piece valve casing improve response?

Then, there are the the minute details about the shape of the water keys and other features that one would have to use some kind of a a machine to register the results with. These things are almost imperceptible to the human ear yet they are claimed to improve response. Who can hear it or feel it? I don't doubt that someone might be able to, but I would like someone to chime in and verify these claims.

So, the question is, just what is the new 6335RC? Is it just an amalgamation of parts with a lot of hype or a truly new and impressive Yamaha trumpet?

hello
if they said the new one is improved, i think you can reasonablely trust them, like it's been with the new 8310Z which i play and amazes me everyday, as much as a lot of people around me.

unfortunately i forgot to compare Andrea Tofanelli's RC to my 8310Z when we had the great pleasure to accompany him, but i'll do it next time
best

Yamaha uses a lot of small parts for heaps on trumpets and cornets. The most important parts: valve casing, bell and leadpipe seem to be exclusiv 6336RC. The valves and valves slides seem to be student line. BTW the valves of the 2330 are excellent. I am not so sure about the 2330 valve slides, found that type a little bit clunky on my 2310 cornet but maybe times have changed.
I have my doubts about the bell, could be a (modified?) 4335/5335 bell. But maybe it's a complete new bell.
It seems that to keep the price low they used cheap but trusty parts of a student horn and found the upgrade in bell (?), casing and leadpipe + some details.

There is a model named 01 https://reverb.com/item/20912443-yamaha-ytr-01q-q-class-trumpet

I have played several RC’s, and I like them! Really good!

My guess is that the designers found a way to combine existing parts with new parts to build a good 6000-level instrument that could be sold at a more competitive price.

From the variety of models detailed in this thread it seems the Japanese market different models all over the world much like they do automobiles.
