Yamaha YTR-9445CHSIII Chicago C Trumpet

The Chicago Series was developed in close cooperation with John Hagstrom of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. A fusion of traditional style and state-of-the-art design achieves a comfortable resistance and a tone that is both brilliant and deep. Designed to play well with its Bb counterpart, the 9445CHSIII Bb trumpet has consistently outstanding feel and playability throughout its range, so switching instruments is smooth and seamless.

Yamaha spared no expense in the research and development of its third generation of the Chicago and New York series instruments, and the performance level of these instruments reflects that. As an option, this instrument can also go through the Yamaha Cryo-Treatment process, resulting in a trumpet that plays with an even more astonishing efficiency and a robust, full orchestral sound.
