Jeroen Berwaerts - development artist

"From the very beginning, my vision was to create a trumpet with a truly new sound—one that offers an unbeatable experience for both player and audience. Working with the European Yamaha Atelier in Hamburg on the YTR-8335EA, this vision became reality: an instrument that unites a beautifully warm sound with impeccable intonation.

I can always speak in my own voice—from soaring highs to grounded lows, from thunderous fortissimo to whisper-soft pianissimo. In solo and orchestral repertoire alike, it responds with nuance, clarity, and power.

It is the most versatile trumpet I’ve ever played." - Jeroen Berwarts

The finger hooks

The two heavyweight finger hooks were newly developed for this model. The weighty finger hooks provide a warmer tone and firm support for powerful air and an improved sense of connection between player and horn.

These finger hooks are based on favorably received parts created in our European atelier while working with artists. To reproduce atelier-made parts of high quality and achieve a better tone quality, we carefully selected materials from all over the world and adopted a suitable nickel silver material.
