Xeno Artist Model trumpets are based on in-depth research into vintage instruments that are considered masterpieces, but they are not simply reproductions. All materials and parts have been thoroughly reviewed, and construction refined to deliver unprecedented balance and performance. Ongoing collaboration with leading artists around the world continues to elevate Xeno Artist Model performance to new heights.

The BR type has been newly added to the Yamaha flagship trumpet, the Xeno Artist Model, which is highly acclaimed around the world. Pursuing features that meet the needs of today's players, The BR type uses more brass parts than the standard Xeno Artist Model. It is a new-generation trumpet that offers high flexibility, agile control, and accurate intonation.

The Chicago series BR type was developed in close cooperation with Tom Hooten. A fusion of orthodox style and state-of-the-art design achieves free blowing resistance and a tone that is both brilliant and deep. The C and Bb trumpets have consistently outstanding feel and playability throughout their ranges, so switching instruments is smooth and seamless.
