Developed with John Hagstrom

The consultant for the Chicago model is John Hagstrom, a member of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and an outstanding soloist.BiographyJohn Hagstrom is a member of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's famous trumpet section (since 1996). He is also in constant demand as both a trumpet teacher and trumpet soloist around the world. Prior to joining the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, he had been the principal trumpet with the Wichita Symphony Orchestra and "The President's Own" United States Marine Band, in Washington, DC.Hagstrom is passionate in his support of music education, and helped to initiate Dream Out Loud, a music education advocacy partnership between the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association and the Yamaha Corporation of America. Dream Out Loud offers a variety of resources created for elementary through high school students, their teachers and parents, designed to support every student’s interest in playing an instrument, and providing encouragement through times of challenge.

Since its introduction in 2004, the Chicago Artist Model C Trumpet has been the instrument played most often by players winning orchestral positions in major U.S. orchestras. Due to its phenomenal commercial and artistic success worldwide, in 2006 Yamaha selected the Chicago Artist Model C Trumpet to be their 10 millionth instrument ever produced.A native Chicagoan, Hagstrom grew up listening to the CSO. Five years of study at the Eastman School of Music were followed by six years in “The President's Own” United States Marine Band in Washington, D.C., where he spent three of those years as principal trumpet. His many solo appearances with the band included four national concert tours and the Camp David wedding of (Sr.) President Bush's daughter, Dorothy. Recordings featuring John Hagstrom include his performance of the Bellini Oboe Concerto and the Sachse Concertino with the Chicago Brass Choir, and can also be heard as lead trumpet on Daniel Barenboim's recording on the Teldec label entitled Tribute to Ellington.In June of 2006 his first solo CD (with the DePaul University Wind ensemble under the direction of Donald DeRoche) was released on the Albany Records label, about which Time Out Chicago said: “You'd never guess he was a mild-mannered second trumpeter from the hair-raising high notes... or from the way he seamlessly unfurls long lines” (TimeOut.com).

Nova concepção da campânula

The newly designed bell features a new design that is narrower toward the pistons and a squared-corner U-shaped crook that provides the performer with an ideal blowing resistance. This results in a richer sound with a strong tonal core that improves upper register playability. The wall thickness gradually tapers, thinning as it gets closer to the rim. The flat rim helps hold sound together even at extreme dynamic ranges.

Tubo principal

Com a utilização de um tubo principal (leadpipe) segundo o estilo original Malone Pipe™ (MB1), e uma ligação ao bocal menos profunda, foi possível aperfeiçoar o timbre e capacidade de resposta para obter uma melhor resistência ao ar, para o músico. 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 a sua oficina 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.

Improved response and ideal blowing resistance

Redesenhando algumas partes, como por exemplo as camisas e os pistões mais leves, a bomba principal com curvatura semiquadrada e a mola da chave de escape de água, conseguimos obter uma melhor resposta, assim como resistência ao ar, características essenciais para o trompetista.

The first valve slide

The newly designed bell features a new design that is narrower toward the pistons and a squared-corner U-shaped crook that provides the performer with an ideal blowing resistance. This results in a more ""three-dimensional"" sound with a strong tonal core that improves upper register playability.

Batente da terceira bomba

Redesigned parts, such as lighter weight pistons and valve casing, a semi-square crook shaped tuning slide and water key spring, result in improved response and provide the performer with an ideal blowing resistance.

Cabeça da válvula

The slide stopper is used to prevent the trumpet slides from coming off the instrument. The slide stopper is made of silicone rubber, which does not discolor the instruments finish like regular rubber does. It can be left in place while playing. (Length: 12 cm)
