The Difference Between Mediocrity & Mastery

A brass instrument mouthpiece is much more than an add-on or accessory. It is a vital part of your instrument. As interface between artist and instrument, it can mean the difference between mediocrity and mastery.

Serie Signature

Aunque es un hecho poco conocido fuera de los círculos profesionales, Yamaha estuvo muchos años fabricando boquillas especialmente personalizadas para cientos de los principales músicos del mundo en nuestros talleres de Investigación y Desarrollo (R&D). Siempre eran artistas que no estaban satisfechos con ninguno de los modelos comerciales del mercado. Venían a nosotros porque tenían la confianza de que si había alguien con los conocimientos y la experiencia suficientes como para diseñar y fabricar la boquilla de sus sueños, ese ""alguien"" era Yamaha. Cada uno de estos músicos sabía exactamente, por la experiencia acumulada a lo largo de sus dilatadas carreras, el tipo de sonido y de respuesta que querían, y nuestros técnicos a su vez sabían, gracias a su experiencia y conocimientos en la fabricación de instrumentos, cómo conseguir lo que buscaban. Y cada vez había más colegas y alumnos de estos músicos de primera línea que nos pedían copias de estas boquillas, por lo que tomamos la decisión de seleccionar un buen número de ellas y ofrecerlas dentro de la serie Signature. Y gracias a esa decisión, otros pueden disfrutar de los resultados de la colaboración y el esfuerzo conjunto de artistas y artesanos.

Thomas Hooten

Mouthpiece:

  • "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."
