Vintage Yamaha YTR-333 Bb Trumpet Serviced

I am letting go of my vintage Yamaha YTR-333 intermediate/semi-professional trumpet (Serial No: 0304XXX). This beautiful horn was imported directly from Japan and has been a sheer pleasure to play. I am only selling it because I have recently upgraded to a professional model. Manufactured in Japan during the early 1980s, the 300-series horns from this era are highly sought after. While technically branded as an intermediate model, its build quality aligns much closer with a semi-professional instrument. It features heavier-gauge metal than modern student horns, exceptional Japanese craftsmanship, and a sound that is distinctly richer, darker, and fuller than typical entry-level instruments. It is the ultimate alternative to paying endless monthly rental fees for a lower-quality student instrument!

Key Specifications:

-Bore Size: Medium-Large (ML) .459" (11.65mm) – provides excellent intonation and perfectly balanced resistance.

-Bell Material: Two-piece Gold/Red Brass bell, giving the trumpet its signature round, warm, and dark tonal characteristics.

Condition: Serviced & Ready to Play: The horn has been recently serviced and is fully cleaned, flushed, and oiled. The valves and slides are incredibly reliable and smooth.

What’s Included: -Yamaha YTR-333 Trumpet & Hard Case

-Two mouthpieces: Your choice of a 7C and 5C (or a 3C, whichever suits your playing style better)

-Valve oil & cleaning kit

-A new practice mute

Price: $600 (Open to reasonable offers) You are more than welcome to arrange a time to try the instrument out before purchasing (only Philly PA area).
