I was wondering if any owners of the Yamaha YTR8310 Bobby Shew, YTR8335RGS, or YTR8335LA tell me the characteristics/ differences of each trumpet?
Help would be greatly appreaciated as I am only currently switching from a student model to professional.

Thanks,

Hi,
I've got a Yamaha 8335RGS. The Xeno is an awesome horn. It plays well in all registers. I use it as my main classical horn, for both solo work and section. It's also a great lead horn, with the right mouthpiece.
The Bobby Shew is a small-bore horn, yet it too has the reversed leadpipe. I like the Shew, but it's not my favorite horn to play.
I'd advise you to play before you pay, to make sure that you get the horn that best works for you.

Cheers.
