Introducing the Yamaha YCR8335G custom neo series B♭ cornet
This customer neo cornet is constructed with the finest materials to achieve a rich sound world. The use of gold in the lead pipe, connection tube and main tuning slide give the cornet a flexible sound as well as excellent response in the higher register.
Developed with 3 of the brass band world's most successful cornet players and conductors, these highly expressive cornets bring new musical possibilities to both solo and band performances.
This cornet is supplied as an outfit with a mouthpiece and quality hard case. It is available with clear lacquer and silver plated finishes.
The leadpipe
Gold brass has been adopted to a part of the tube leading from the leadpipe to the valves, delivering a depth of sound and a richness in tonal variety that are required for British brass bands.
One-piece bell
THe one-piece bell provides for great tonal colours and improved response
What's in the box?
Outfit comes complete with mouthpiece and durable case. Custom designed, the single case features a better fit and provides more protection during transportation.
Artist messages
I am delighted to have been involved in the development team for the new Neo cornet. Through many hours of research and trial I am confident that the resulting instrument is the best on the market, I find it to be very accurate in intonation, and tone throughout the range, and it is remarkably responsive at whatever dynamic level you choose to play.
If you want the ultimate cornet then look no further.
Russell Gray - Yamaha Artist, Cornet Soloist & International Conductor
There are for me two or three basic/mandatory requirements when I choose an instrument. Firstly, as a performer we must be able to rely on the build quality of the instrument, life is tough enough on stage without the mechanics of the instrument failing us! The quality of instrument is so important, it is an encouragement and catalyst to practice as well as performance. Without a doubt, the level of quality control maintained by Yamaha is second to none. Secondly, the tone quality and the sound produced by any brass instrument (in combination with the player), is perhaps the single most important aspect of playing any instrument. Your personal sound on an instrument is your musical identity, just like your voice. I have no hesitation in saying that the new Neo cornet has all of the qualities that I look for, allowing for the tones to be open, happy or sad, big or small, and all can be beautiful!.
Finally, as a Yamaha Artist, I can truly say from my experience over the past 20 years working with them, that in the development process of any new model instrument, they will take as long as it is necessary to achieve the goal of the best possible product. No more words are necessary!
