The area where the bell meets the valves has been redesigned for optimum playing resistance and brilliant, distinctive tone. High note playability has been significantly improves as well.

The bell has a bottom seam that results in ideal balance with the new thinner valve casing and pistons.

Com a utilização de um tubo principal (leadpipe) mais grosso que os comuns, segundo o estilo original Malone Pipe™ (MB1), e uma ligação ao bocal menos profunda, foi possível aperfeiçoar o timbre e a capacidade de resposta para obter uma melhor resistência ao ar, para o músico. O facto de o apoio para dedos não ser soldado ao tubo principal também influencia positivamente a qualidade sonora e capacidade de resposta. Malone Pipe™ Com base nos modelos de tubos principais desenhados pelo famoso artesão de instrumentos de metal Bob Malone, o modelo Malone Pipe™ encontra-se disponível em várias afinações. Oferece uma resposta rápida, afinação precisa e uniformidade de timbre sem par. Bob Malone, que originalmente era trompetista, abriu o seu atelier de instrumentos de metal em Los Angeles, em 1983. Os trompetistas dirigiam-se ao seu atelier para personalizar os seus instrumentos. O seu design original do tubo principal recebeu elogios a vários níveis e é ainda muito valorizado pelos trompetistas. Desde que Malone integrou a equipa de Investigação e Desenvolvimento da Yamaha, em 2001, que o seu design Malone Pipe™ se encontra presente num grande número de modelos da série “Xeno Artists” e da série “Custom”. Trazendo maior riqueza e brilho ao timbre, para além de uma excelente proteção, o design Malone Pipe™ permite uma enorme expressividade musical.

Thinner valvecasing and pistons, as well as the modified angle of the branch tube (Knuckle, marked blue in the photo), result in improved response and provide the performer with an ideal appropriate resistance.Modifications to the shapes of the piston button, top cap, and bottom cap, as well as production refinements, have made it possible to deliver a deeper tone while improving projection.

A conventional square crook is used (the Chicago model has a semi-square crook), while the main tuning brace has been extended and made heavier to achieve blowing resistance and vivid tonality that add up to brilliant presence in orchestral settings.

The weight distribution of the water key arm and bridle has been revised for more playing versatility and easier access to the high notes.

The shape and position of the bell braces has been modified to achieve better weight balance that results in speedier response and livelier tone with a solid tonal core.

A cabeça da válvula foi concebida para evitar que o pistão do trompete se solte e caia. É feita em silicone porque este material não danifica o acabamento. É, assim, resistente e elástica, permanecendo colada ao instrumento enquanto toca (comprimento: 12 cm).

The TRC-800E double case features a backpack-style design for ease of transport.
