The Yamaha YTR-8310Z03 is a Custom Z trumpet with real jazz heritage. It was developed with Bobby Shew and Yamaha's R&D team, and it began life as the 6310Z before being refined into the horn we have here. It's a favourite with modern commercial and jazz players who want a bright, focused sound with a solid core.
The refinements are small but you can feel them. A redesigned leadpipe gives a smoother response in detailed passages, and a heavier two-piece valve casing block adds richness and depth with a reassuring level of resistance. New finger buttons, modified bottom caps and a longer 3rd slide stopper screw with a soldered stopper ring finish the job.
The one-piece yellow brass bell has a 5" French bead rim and an 11.3mm (0.445") small step bore, so it's equally happy driving a big band lead line or settling into a ballad. It comes with a Shew Jazz mouthpiece and a custom zip case with straps, and it's ready to play straight away. Every one is set up by our workshop, and you can try it for 14 days on approval.

Yamaha YTR-8310Z03 Custom - Bb Trumpet Reviews
Fantastic service from start to finish with Dawkes!
This is an excellent trumpet at a reasonable price and sounds wonderful in all registers . It is also easy to play . It has more core than the previous model even though the Yamaha Z 2 was already a very good trumpet . this is primarily a trumpet for Jazz it is excellent as a solo classical trumpet too with many colours .
Wow!! Firstly the case. It has a look and feel of something solid enough to protect the contents, yet stylish in appearance, and practical in design with its carrying straps and handles. Inside, there’s room for two trumpets to fit snugly within two protected compartments. This trumpet feels special and looks faultlessly made. It’s incredibly lightweight, the tuning slides run smoothly, and valves spring quickly. There’s a subtle rose tint to the lead pipe suggesting careful choice of materials, although the use of plastic rather than cork in the water keys whilst unusual in appearance and perhaps functional in their stepped design are certainly less absorbent. Playing it is a dream, with a true sense of effortless sound, and with the Bobby Shew Jazz mouthpiece included high register notes seem confidently easy. Play it gently and it, for me, gives a rich, mellow, sound. Go for higher notes, and it gives the kind of piercing notes with an edge I’m looking for. Overall, to me, a perfect trumpet.
Great instrument and a nice replacement for my 18 year old lower model
