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).

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.

Con la utilización de un tudel original Malone Pipe™ (MB1) y un receptor de boquilla menos profundo, hemos conseguido mejorar el timbre y la respuesta a la vez que hemos logrado una resistencia al aire ideal para el músico. Malone Pipe™ Basado en los tudeles diseñados por el famoso artesano de instrumentos de metal Bob Malone, el modelo Malone Pipe está disponible en varias afinaciones, ofreciendo una respuesta rápida, una afinación muy precisa y una uniformidad tímbrica inigualable. Bob Malone, que originalmente era trompetista, abrió su taller artesano de instrumentos de metal en Los Angeles en 1983. Los trompetistas acudían a su tienda a que les personalizase sus instrumentos. Su diseño original de tudel ha recibido elogios desde todos los ámbitos, y todavía sigue siendo muy valorado entre los trompetistas. Desde que Bob se incorporó al equipo de Investigación y Desarrollo de Yamaha en 2001, su diseño Malone Pipe ha estado presente en buen número de modelos de la serie Xeno Artist y de la serie Custom. Aportando riqueza y brillo al timbre, además de una proyección excelente, el diseño Malone Pipe permite la máxima expresividad musical.

Rediseñando algunas partes, como por ejemplo las camisas y los pistones más ligeros, la bomba principal con curvatura semicuadrada, y el muelle de la llave de desagüe, hemos logrado una respuesta mejorada y una resistencia al aire que resulta perfecta para el trompetista.

El primer pistón incorpora un pilar especial que proporciona un enfoque mayor al centro del tono para obtener una definición y una claridad inigualables.

El tope del tercer pistón se ha desplazado para ampliar el desplazamiento del pistón en fa bajo, así como para facilitar digitaciones alternativas. El botón de gran tamaño situado en el extremo de la vara deslizante se ha estudiado detenidamente para ajustar con precisión la resistencia de soplido y mejorar de este modo el control.

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)
