Used Yamaha YTR-634 Professional Brass Trumpet - With Case and Mouthpiece
$1,019.77
The Yamaha YTR-634 is a highly regarded vintage professional Bb trumpet from Yamaha's early professional instrument lineup. Manufactured in Japan during the 1969–1978 production period, it's recognized for its sophisticated design, responsive playing characteristics, and strong connection to the work of legendary trumpet designer Renold Schilke. Based on serial number 0124XX and the production sequence for the model, this particular horn was likely built around 1970–1971, making it an earlier example from Yamaha's historic "purple logo" era.
The YTR-634 was heavily influenced by Schilke's design philosophy and is closely associated with the architecture of the Schilke B5/V5. Relatively lightweight construction, a medium-large .460" bore, a reverse leadpipe, and a red-brass bell combine into an instrument known for being exceptionally free-blowing, responsive, and tonally versatile. The 5-inch red brass (gold brass) bell and red brass leadpipe provide a warm, dark, and complex tonal character, while the light build maintains excellent response and flexibility.
In practice, that means easy movement between registers with a focused, expressive sound — a horn equally at home in jazz, big band, commercial, and classical settings. The red-brass bell adds warmth and tonal complexity for rich classical work, while still giving you the projection and immediacy jazz and commercial playing demand.
The YTR-634 represents an important stage in Yamaha's development of professional brass instruments, reflecting the company's late-1960s and early-1970s push into the professional trumpet market. As an early Japanese professional Yamaha, it combines American design influence with Japanese manufacturing and vintage Yamaha craftsmanship, which is exactly why it draws so much interest from vintage trumpet enthusiasts.
This example has been well maintained throughout the years. There are minor feather scratches and light dings or pings on the body structure, but no dents and no repairs. Our technician has adjusted the instrument to general playing condition, and it comes with a hard-shell case and a Yamaha Model 11 mouthpiece. If you're an advancing player, this is a fantastic choice for every style of music making.
