Yamaha YCR6335II - SIB LACQUERED

A Yamaha Professional Series Cornet, Following the YCR-6330 II

The Yamaha YCR-6335 II is part of the brand's professional series and succeeds the YCR-6330 II (model launched in 1997). For this generation, Yamaha has particularly refined the core of a modern cornet: the quality of the piston block and assembly precision, to offer an instrument that is reliable, consistent, and high-performing in demanding contexts.

Designed for musicians who need a stable instrument in tuning and clear in the spectrum, it aims for a balance between playing flexibility and ensemble stability, with a distinct sonic identity even when the orchestration is dense.

For Which Musicians and Styles?

The YCR-6335 II is primarily intended for advanced and professional cornet players, as well as wind orchestra musicians seeking a serious cornet for their section. Its design promotes efficient sound production and controlled playing resistance, appreciated during long rehearsals and concerts.

In terms of aesthetics, it is particularly well-suited for wind orchestra, brass band, and classical repertoire (cornet sections), while remaining relevant for variety and projects where a centered, well-defined sound is desired without forcing.

Sound and Design

Thanks to its one-piece 119 mm bell and design focused on breath efficiency, this cornet develops a present sound with projection that remains clean and clear in ensemble playing. The addition of a spacer on the main tuning slide helps enhance timbre definition: the sound stands out more easily in the orchestra without losing the typical warm character of the cornet.

The L bore (11.73 mm) provides a sense of breadth and comfort while maintaining firmness: it offers a more natural sound production, beautiful homogeneity across registers, and stable response at various dynamics. The brass body and lacquered finish complete the package with a sober aesthetic and good daily protection.

Mechanically, the Monel pistons are known for their durability and smooth action. The result: consistent piston action, facilitated articulation, and an instrument that retains its playing pleasure over the seasons, provided normal maintenance is performed.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

Delivered with a hard case and a Yamaha CR-14ES mouthpiece, the YCR-6335 II is immediately ready to play. To complete your maintenance routine, piston oil and slide grease (universal brass care products) are essential to preserve the smoothness of the piston block and the stability of the tuning slides.
