I have given up my search for the XO trumpet and have settled for a horn that literally blew me away!

I tried out the new Z series YTR 8310 ZS Booby Shew, incredible. Loved the tone, it was so easy to blow and the sound just came through so easy, smoooooth!

The only thing that didn't thrill me was the valves were a bit noisey, I was hoping they would be a little more quiet than the ones on my Jupiter JTR-1200. But everything else was a easy sell, just got to wait until they come into stock.

Anything I need to know before I lay down the cash, good choice?

i would say do it,

but why not a Xeno?

I also did play the Xeno 8335 RGS and it too was a beautiful horn, but the Bobby Shew just played through. It had a beautiful rich tone, just blew through with ease. (It plays itself!)

not trying to complicate things for u, but the new 8335LA wayne bergeron model will be availible here within a month and i truly feel it is overall the finest trumpet yamaha has ever made. any yes, i've spent extensive time with all the new artist models(except chicago Bb), shew z, xenos, and many of their earlier models from the past 15 years. i think u should at least get these horns together for a good comparison!!
