Xeno (pronounced 'Zeno') trumpets are designed for those who want power and projection as well as a big warm sound. Developed from more than 30 years' research with leading artists throughout the world, Xeno trumpets incorporate their dreams, their experience, and their talents-as realised through the skills and ideas of some of the world's best designers and crafts persons.

Traditional hand-craftsmanship augmented by cutting edge manufacturing technology has created an extraordinary quality of unprecedented consistency.

The Xeno's heavyweight construction produces a solid tone core for a rich strong sound that won't spread or break up no matter how hard it is pushed. It blows freely and comfortably, while still providing enough air resistance for quick response and superb tonal flexibility. And the hand-hammered one-piece bell gives an agile, quick response with a beautiful tone.

Designed in conjunction with renowned session player, Wayne Bergeron. Based on the YTR8335 with the bell design from the YTR8310Z and a large bore tuning slide, all-brass valve casing, Malone MB1 gold brass leadpipe, yellow brass one-piece bell.

Outstanding attention to detail including the lavish French bead and side seams in medium-large bore tubing results in superior operability with strong, brilliant tonal colors suited to various genres, particularly jazz or popular music.

The YTR-8335LA is a mediumweight Bb Trumpet, featuring a gold lacquer finish and a yellow brass bell, giving superior tone and projection.
