Yamaha YTR-6310Z Bobby Shew Custom Z Trumpet 2010s - Lacquered Brass

Up for sale is a highly sought-after, early-generation Yamaha YTR-6310Z Bobby Shew Professional Bb trumpet. This instrument was crafted at the legendary Yamaha Hamamatsu factory in Japan around 1996/1997 (Serial Number: 201286). Known for its incredibly lightweight design, brilliant step-bore construction, and effortless upper register, this original 6310Z model remains a favorite among commercial and jazz players.I am listing this horn in Fair cosmetic condition due to clear signs of use, but it is in exceptional mechanical shape and plays beautifully.

Recent Professional Maintenance
To ensure this horn is completely gig-ready for its next owner, it received a full professional service on September 18, 2026 ($145 value). The service included:

• Comprehensive professional chemical cleaning and flush
• Full valve alignment and piston service
• Replacement of the third valve slide stop screw

Mechanical Condition & Playability

• Valves: The legendary Yamaha Monel pistons are fast, snappy, and smooth with excellent compression.
• Slides: All tuning slides (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and main) pull out smoothly and hold grease perfectly.
• Response: The horn plays with the classic open, vibrant, and efficient response that Bobby Shew models are famous for.

Cosmetic Condition
Please review the high-resolution photos carefully to see the exact condition of the horn.

• Lacquer: This trumpet shows honest, character-building cosmetic lacquer wear from years of play, primarily around the valve casing and common contact points.
• Dents/Dings: There are no major performance-impacting dents. There is a minor, small dent on the 3rd valve slide crook that was professionally addressed during its recent service.
• Main Tuning Slide: There are early signs of minor cosmetic red rot beginning to form on the main tuning slide crook. It is currently stable, purely cosmetic, and has been thoroughly cleaned and treated during the recent chemical flush.
