This is the 1st generation of the Bobby Shew Custom Z model. According to their website the handmade bell is one of the biggest Yamaha makes, and its tapering thickness gives players a very open and comfortable response as well as better feedback into their sound. The flat-dome bell rim helps players create their own personal tonal colors. Yamaha kept the same basic design concepts—the precise lead pipe taper and super-efficient step bore—that made the original Z so popular. But Yamaha has improved on it in many subtle ways, often using techniques learned in developing the heavyweight Xeno Trumpets. As a result, the Custom Z offers an unprecedented amount of tonal richness and depth.

This one has some dents on the bell curve, but the lacquer is in excellent condition. There’s one nic on the finish of the lead pipe. The dents don’t seem to affect the sound or playability. Includes the pictured Yamaha Xeno case.
