1835 COLFAX ST - CONCORD, CA 94520 - 925-687-4220 YAMAHA YTR-739T Professional Trumpet This Yamaha trumpet came into our shop used. It has seen quite a bit of playing over the years as you can see by the plating wear. The valves have seen some considerable playing time as well. However, this horn has a lot of life left in it. The compression is excellent. The valve action is very smooth. All slides are functioning well and pull smoothly. Compression is very tight. Trigger works flawlessly. The tone is very warm but focused with a bit of a bite on top. It is very free-blowing and slots exceptionally well. From what we have gathered this is a Schilke B3 clone made just after Schilke had done some consulting with the Yamaha company. For someone looking to get a classic Schilke sound without shelling out a lot of bucks, this is a steal of a deal on a really solid horn. This horn comes with a Yamaha 11C4 - Marked 7C. If you have any questions about this horn, please don't hesitate to ask. It comes with the green Protec Propac pictured here. The case is in great shape, zippers work great, straps and strap hooks too. There will be a short demo video of this horn posted on our youtube channel very shortly. If you would like to see full resolution pictures of the horn, please follow this link to our website: Specs: Silver-Plated Yellow Brass .463 Large Bore 4-7/8" Bell w/ #3 Taper Reverse Lead Pipe 1st Valve Trigger 3rd Valve Ring Here are some excerpts from some Trumpet Herald folks about this series of Yamaha/Schilke Clones: "I currently own a 1970s B3 and a Yamaha YTR739T. I thought the 739T was a clone of the X3, but after playing them both, and trying to remember how the X3 I had before played, I think your chart is correct. The 739T plays almost identical to the B3. The 739T probably has the same design bell as the B3, not the X3. By memory, the X3 was even more free blowing with a less focused, or more dispersed sound. " "Bore = L – Schilke equivalent: B3 Model: YTR-739T Years: 1976-1984 Key: Bb Bore: .463" Bell Size: 4-7/8" Material: Gold Brass Finish: Silver Weight: Light Current Model: YTR-6345GS" "Nearly all of the early Yamaha trumpets had clear Schilke design influence and, though that relationship has been over for almost twenty years, the Yamaha professional lightweight trumpets still bear very clear relationship with their Schilke forebears. For example, The Yamaha YTR 6310Z began its life as a copy of the Schilke B6, a medium step-bore design. Though the Yamaha has been through several models (the YTR 732, YTR 636, 736, 6310, 6310B and the 6310Z) it remains visually identical to the Schilke with the exception, of course, of Schilke's trademark hexagonal valve caps, buttons, and braces. Yamaha mouthpieces share the Schilke labeling system. The Yamaha trumpet line also included copies of the B5 and X3 for almost 30 years. "
