Yamaha YTR-6335JII Trumpet

In 1992 James Morrison first went to the Yamaha Band Instrument manufacturing plant in Tooyoka Japan, with a brief to investigate the feasibility of developing a new trumpet for Australian conditions. This was to be an instrument designed specifically for Australian students and musicians. Many varieties were available at the time, and many overseas artists were endorsing many brands.

The objective was to provide students and musicians with a local resource; namely, an instrument of high quality at a reasonable price.

Since the introduction of the "Morrison Trumpet" in 1993, James has travelled many times around the world performing with this instrument. In Australia, he has visited many schools and institutions conducting workshops and concerts, and communicating knowledge and information pertaining to the design and performance capabilities of the instrument. On his second visit to Tooyoka (to assist in the design of the YSL456GJII Signature model trombone), James reviewed the original trumpet design, the result of which is the Mark ll, available since 1997. In addition, further research was conducted on trumpet mouthpieces and subsequently a James Morrison Signature mouthpiece is now available.

In September 1996 James returned to Hamamatsu, this time to investigate the development of a Trombone to fulfil similar needs for Australian musicians.

Of prime importance was the design and performance of the instrument but another consideration, often overlooked, was the transportation convenience factor. After exhaustive research, the end result is a very fine trombone and an equally fine compact "shoulder strap" carry case that won't trip up everybody on the bus.

Whilst meeting with Yamaha design engineers, James reviewed the original trumpet design, the result of which is the new YTR6335JII Series ll model. In addition, further research was conducted on trumpet mouthpieces and subsequently a James Morrison Signature mouthpiece, TR14B4JM is now available.
