The Yamaha YCR2330SIII cornet is well balanced, has good intonation and warm tone which makes this model possibly the best student cornet on the market.

With the YCR-2330III, Yamaha have kept the basic design of the hugely successful YCR-2330II cornet and added some modifications. The beginner can now get a quick and easy response from the new ML-bore size and a modified two-piece yellow brass bell and a round lead-pipe offer improved sound and playability. The 2000 series also benefits from newly designed heavier valve caps, offering a full sound and great projection.

Yamaha standard cornets have been designed to incorporate many of the features and characteristics of the top pro models, yet at a standard model price. They offer a beautiful traditional cornet sound, and have highly accurate intonation and a comfortable playability.

Features

• New piston, piston caps and buttons - Highly durable monel alloy pistons as well as newly designed piston buttons and bottom caps help lengthen the life of the instrument while also maximizing sound quality
• Yellow brass bell - The durable yet light two-piece bell is made of yellow brass for optimal playability and to promote good technique and endurance
• Bore size and leadpipe - The rounded leadpipe and ML (medium-large) 11.65mm (0.459") bore give this instrument a smooth and light response and a warm tone quality
• New tuning slides - The 2nd and main tuning slides are produced using the same method as high-end Yamaha models, which provides stability, a more refined tonal colour and added durability
