It sounded quite good. It goes to prove it’s the musician more than the equipment that makes the difference. And I like the shout-out to Orono, ME. I’m from Portland and had a lot of friends that went to the University of Maine, which has a good music program!
I love how brass instruments really can be the epitome of a "diamond in the rough". I just finished going through my school's inventory of instruments which included about 15 student model horns (Bundy, King, Olds, Yamaha)...some of which were in ROUGH shape. I caught myself thinking "Dang...does this sound better than my Shires??" more than once while I was playtesting everything.
I totally agree. I had a similar experience when I was younger. I dated someone who’s sister had a really beat up trumpet, bell was bent and messed up. I got it fixed up, and it was a great horn.
Ryan, as a high school trumpet player, your videos are extremely helpful when it comes to improving my technique and finding repertoire. If you happen to see this comment, could you share the name of that lyrical piece you played at 6:41? It sounded beautiful, much due to your incredible tone!
Is it on the valve casing? My 4335 is stamped there. I have seen an older 6000 series where it was stamped there as well. In any case, it looks like a “Bobby Shew” variety. FWIW, articulations seemed clearer on that than your standard, but perhaps that’s due to mic placement and the commercial intention of a Shew horn.
now days…..definitely a closer ‘Ford vs Chevy’ situation! You have your die-hard fans from both camps…. Yamaha pretty hands down some of the best beginning and intermediate horns….gap really decreases once you get to the Bach 180/190 series and the Yamaha artists custom series. Basically boils down to $$ and player preference. 5k for a horn is insane…my fist Bach 180s37 only cost $650…..in 1985! 🤣🤣🤣
Just out of curiosity, what are the model #s for the two Yamahas?? A Cat Anderson story from his Conn Connstellation years on trying out the Conn Director (student) Coprion bell model: 'Are you sure this isn't your top of the line model?? I like the A better on this one.' There are some very nice horns out there masquerading as student models.
Ryan, what model is it? Looks like an early 6310Z or 636 (the horn designed by Bobby Shew and Bob Malone). I actually think it sounds great!! They are interesting horns with a stepbore design based on the old Martin Committee model.
This reminds me of what Phil Parker told me in the 70's "First the man, then the mouthpiece and finally the instrument". You just proved that!
I think he’s right!

Someone to watch over me by George Gershwin. Arranged by Joseph Turrin. Thanks for watching my videos!
You didn't mention which model Yamaha your friend owned. Sounds awesome
I didn’t find any markings on the bell, so I don’t actually know which model it is!

I have a Conn Coprion student trumpet and I like to play it sometimes because it sounds pretty .
I figured there would be a bigger difference between the trumpets for sure

I don’t know what Michael’s horn is, but mine is a Gen 3 NY Bb.

@@RyanBeachtrumpet should be on the second valve
