Yamaha MP TR Shew Lead S Mouthpiece for trumpet

General

In collaboration with Bobby Shew, Yamaha has developed a special trumped mouthpiece: the MP TR Shew Lead S. This mouthpiece gives high notes an extra clear and bright character, making it particularly suited for melodies.

The Signature series

As a maker of musical instruments, it's important to be informed by the tried-and-true experts of the craft; top musicians know like no one else which aspects of their instrument are the most important. The cooperation between world-class artists and the Yamaha R&D department delivers exceptionally good musical instruments, developed to fit the specific desires of the musician in question. And that's how Yamaha's Signature series came to fruition: special mouthpieces for copper horn instruments, named after the musician involved with developing its specific characteristics that are most important to his or her playing.

Bobby Shew

The career of the trumpet player Bobby Shew began during his youth in the club circuit where he performed night after night. Eventually Shew developed into a talented jazz trumpeter and became know as a lead player in the jazz scene. He recorded a number of critically acclaimed albums, receiving a Grammy nomination in 1980 for 'Outstanding in his Field,' and the Jazz Album of the Year award in 1983 for "Heavy Company."
