Vintage Yamaha YTR-921X Bb Trumpet - Ultra-Rare Serial #002 Prototype
For sale is an extremely rare, vintage professional Yamaha YTR-921X Bb Trumpet, serial number 002. This low number indicates this horn is likely a prototype or one of the very first production models of this rare series. While it is cosmetically battle-tested, it is structurally sound and features a premium Yamaha Custom Gold Brass Leadpipe.
This is the ultimate instrument for the Yamaha collector, historian, or professional seeking a unique piece of manufacturing history. Its robust playability makes it a fantastic workhorse for a musician who values tone and history over lacquer.
The YTR-921X is an early model in Yamaha's professional Custom-era development. This specific horn, with its incredibly low serial number, is a rare example of the design evolution of the Custom line.
What makes this trumpet unique:
-
Historic Rarity: Serial number 002 makes this trumpet exceptionally rare, giving it immense collector value as a foundational piece of the 900 series.
-
Premium Leadpipe: Features a Yamaha Custom Gold Brass Leadpipe, which enhances the horn's response and contributes to a warmer, richer tonal core.
-
Cosmetic Character: This instrument has seen heavy use and wears its history honestly. It has flea bites covering the entire body and shows evidence of a mixed lacquer and silver plate finish.
-
Structurally Repaired: The horn has had heavy denting around the bell professionally smoothed out over the years, ensuring the bell flare's integrity and its superb playability are preserved.
