"The Yamaha 8310ZS Trumpet was born of Yamaha's long
and close partnership with the legendary trumpeter Bobby Shew.
Bobby is an incredibly versatile player, and to meet all his
playing requirements he wanted to create one super efficient
instrument which could scream out a powerful lead, or play
soft, mellow ballads. He finally found that instrument in
the Z. When we decided to try to improve the Z, trumpet designer
Shunichi Niwata and R&D specialist Bob Malone worked together
with Bobby, passing into it all the special techniques we'd
learned since designing the first Z. And the results speak
for themselves"
