La differenza tra mediocrità ed eccellenza
Il bocchino è molto più di un componente aggiuntivo o un accessorio. È una parte vitale del tuo strumento. Come elemento di connessione tra l'artista e lo strumento, può fare la differenza tra la mediocrità e l'eccellenza.
Serie Standard
Prodotti utilizzando le più avanzate tecnologie di computer design e fabbricazione, i nostri bocchini della serie Standard sono dotati di una precisione senza pari, attacco morbido, controllo sicuro e facilità di esecuzione. Hanno il peso ideale per qualsiasi utilizzo e sono disponibili in più di 100 configurazioni. C’è un bocchino Yamaha per soddisfare ogni esecutore.
Serie GP
La serie GP è stata creata appositamente per i professionisti che necessitano di qualità superiore dal loro bocchino. La serie GP presenta una forma innovativa e una finitura gold-plate extra pesante per gli esecutori che preferiscono un nucleo tonale concentrato e calibrato.
Serie Signature
Anche se è un fatto di poco noto al di fuori dell’ambiente professionale, Yamaha (tramite i nostri Atelier di Ricerca e Sviluppo) è stata per molti anni la produttrice di bocchini speciali e su misura di centinaia tra i migliori musicisti al mondo. Questi musicisti non erano soddisfatti dei modelli commerciali disponibili: si sono quindi rivolti a noi perché avevano la certezza che se ci fosse stato qualcuno che avesse l’abilità necessaria per creare il loro bocchino “ideale”, questa era Yamaha. I musicisti sapevano esattamente, grazie all’esperienza acquisita durante la loro carriera, quale fosse il suono e la risposta che desideravano e i nostri tecnici sapevano, grazie alla loro lunga esperienza nella realizzazione di strumenti, come ottenerli. Sempre più colleghi e studenti di questi musicisti hanno iniziato a chiederci le copie di questi bocchini, così abbiamo deciso di offrire una selezione di questa gamma in una nuova serie Signature. In questo modo altri musicisti possono condividere i risultati della cooperazione tra artista e artigiano.

Principal Trumpet with the Los Angeles Philharmonic

"The new Yamaha Thomas Hooten trumpet mouthpiece is something I use everyday in my job at the LA Philharmonic. It allows me to be as diverse as I need to be from Copland or Mahler to John Williams. Once again Yamaha has created a tool for trumpet players that is consistent and even throughout the range. I recommend this mouthpiece to anyone that is looking for a full bodied orchestral sound that not only has dept but also enough color to help project in any situation."
