Bells

Hammering
In this traditional procedure, a fan-shaped piece of brass with a thickness of approximately 0.5 mm is slowly and carefully formed into a pipe, and its seam is welded shut. A skilled worker then hammers the pipe to form a bell shape. This one-piece bell used for high-end Custom and pro models trumpets.

Spinning
In this step, a mandrel and the bell are spun while using a tool to conform the bell onto the mandrel and constrict the narrow end of the bell. This task is very difficult and labor intensive. Like hammering, bell spinning must be carefully performed by skilled workers.

Bending
To prevent the bell stem from losing its roundness when bent, a soft metal that melts easily is packed inside it. Next a form is used to bend the pipe into a U shape. Lastly the packed metal is melted and removed.

Marking
Finally the Yamaha logo is applied. The logo is applied precisely using a computer controlled engraver.
Valve Casings

Machining and hole formation
In this step, holes are drilled in precise locations.

Brazing
In this step, the valve casing parts are fitted into a special jig and passed through a furnace to braze the components together without any distortions.

Boring
In this step, a lathe is used to precisely machine the interior of the brazed valve casing. This step involves machine work and is critical for ensuring quick, smooth piston action.
The gap between the valve casing and the piston is set to 10 microns on one side. This is such a high level of precision that the valve will not work if even a single strand of hair becomes trapped in the gap.
* 10 microns (0.01 mm) is about one-tenth the thickness of a single strand of hair.
Valve Pistons

Holes
In this step, holes are bored precisely in six locations on each piston cylinder.

Brazing
Tubes which serve as the passageways for three different air streams are fitted into the holes on the piston and brazed to it.

Precision grinding
The outer diameter of the piston and smooth surface is ground and polished to form a precise seal.

What's brazing?
Like soldering, brazing is a method of welding. It has a much higher melting point than soldering for superior strength.
Tubing

Drawing
A steel core rod with precise dimensions is inserted into the tube and fitted tightly against it as in the bell manufacturing process. The tube is then drawn through an exterior die forming highly precise, micron-level tolerances.
Bending
To prevent the pipe from losing its roundness, a soft metal that melts easily is packed inside it. Then a form is used to bend the pipe. Lastly the packed metal is melted and removed.

Ball sizing
In this step, a steel ball, with a diameter the same as the inner diameter of the curved tube, is passed through to precisely shape the inner diameter of the pipe.
Assembling and finishing

Assembly
Skilled workers carefully solder and assemble by hand parts such as the bell, valve casing, and leadpipe.

Buffing
In this step, the surface of the body is polished using a buffer cloth and a polishing agent.

Electrostatic lacquering
The instrument enters a mist of lacquer particles which are electrostatically applied to the trumpet to provide a strong, uniform coating.

Adjustments and playing test
Before a trumpet leaves the factory, it goes through a strict quality and playability test. This includes checking its intonation with a strobe tuner, and also using an air leak tester.
Mouthpieces

Mouthpieces
Our GP, Silver and Signature Series have been created especially for professionals who require superior quality from their mouthpiece.
The GP Series features an innovative shape and extra-heavy gold-plate finish for players who prefer a focused, concentrated tonal core. The 925 Series are the first production mouthpieces in the world to be manufactured from pure sterling silver for a rich, warm tone core with sufficient sparkle for clarity and life.
