This is a very nice clean condition Yamaha YCR-8335 Xeno Bb Cornet. The instrument has been very well cared for and only shows the very lightest signs of aesthetic use. As usual with pro level Cornets it is supplied with 1st and 3rd slide triggers for quick and accurate tuning adjustments.
The 8335 is supplied with a yellow brass bell for an immediate sound with excellent clarity and projection. The design of this Xeno affords the instrument a versatile and flexible sound, especially in the higher register. A great deal of testing has gone on in Europe using different brass materials on certain parts of the cornet to try and achieve the authentic brass band feel but with a modern edge to reflect the demands of todays most prominent players.
This would be an excellent professional model for the advanced player. Suitable across a wide range of musical settings it would sit perfectly in a Brass Band. It is in very clean aesthetic condition throughout and mechanically is in excellent order. Like all our pre-owned Cornets it has been fully checked and set-up in our workshop prior to sale.
