Yamaha YTR-948FFMS C Rotary Trumpet
Here we have this absolutely wonderful Yamaha 948FFMS C rotary Trumpet that's just come in. This is an excellent playing instrument, perfect in orchestral settings or those looking for that dark Viennese sound. This horn has seen a bit of use but is still in fantastic shape. There is some very light surface scratching on the silver plate and just a small bit of wear on the second valve finger button. Beyond this, the ornament is in superb shape and would be a wonderful addition to any players arsenal. Note that the YTR-948FFMGS typically features a 1-piece, 5.12-inch gold brass bell with an axial seam for uniform resonance and world-class tone. The FFMS is the yellow brass variant. Take this horn home with you today!
From Yamaha:
"Designed by brassmeister Thomas Lubitz, the Yamaha YTR-948FFMS is a modern C rotary trumpet with classic European sonic characteristics. This horn's 0.443-inch bore elicits a focused, brilliant sound, and its gold brass lead pipe is specially tapered for superb intonation and a dark, powerful sonic character. The YTR-948FFMS's pressure-formed tubing yields low turbulence and smooth air flow. Its hand-lapped rotary valves and slides ensure a perfect fit and seal, while its light-touch rotor lever mechanism provides super-quick response with minimal effort. You also get a trigger third-valve slide adjustment and a brilliant, silver-plated finish. For an orchestral rotary trumpet with traditional Germanic sound, the Yamaha YTR-948FFMS sets the bar."
