What mouthpiece do you use?

Why is the silver Z being shown? Bobby Shew didn’t care for the silver.

Easy Answer: The Silver Z is being shown because that's what he had in stock! While he may not have cared for the silver plating, at the end of the day it all boils down to player preference. I'd recommend checking out our video with Wayne Tanabe if you haven't already, who heads the Yamaha New York custom shop. He mentions that working on these Custom instruments isn't necessarily about making just one person happy, but their peers and potential buyers as well.

Bobby told me that he just didn't like the brighter sound that could be attributed to a silver-plated trumpet. He said that he might use one if he was in a Latin band.
