YAMAHA YCR-8335G Cornet Bb Clear Lacquer with Case

The Xeno name has established an excellent reputation among demanding trumpeters and trombonists. Yamaha now brings the experience gained from designing these orchestral instruments to cornets. Xeno cornets were designed in close collaboration with some of the world’s best players, especially David King, cornet soloist, Head of Instrumental Studies at the University of Salford, and first conductor of the Yorkshire Building Society Band. David worked intensively with Thomas Lubitz, an expert from Yamaha’s Frankfurt group. The result of their 20 years of research and experimentation is the Yamaha cornets.
