Hey Jonathan, Thanks for all the hard work you put into these videos!!! The Shew Horn is not really a just a lead horn, it is used by many many small group jazz players to great effect. It is also a multi bore horn (.445 at the valves but large bore in other places) A very unique instrument!!! Gordon is right about the lineage of the horn. Keep up the good work mate.
You sound great on both of them . I am a big fan of the old Yamaha 6310Z that preceded the current Bobby Shew model horns by at least 10 years, I believe. Sounding great, Jonathan! Thank you.
Steve, thanks for commenting. :) I've tried a few times to get one of the 6310Z's, but it hasn't happened yet. Both of these horns were very fine players. Have a great week, Steve.
And SO much easier to play than my last one. Fun horn; very light, easy blow, and a big bell that does produce a big, pretty tone. I’m pretty sure this is the same bell as Wayne Bergeron’s LA model Yamaha.
It's a great horn. Mine was extremely efficient in below High C, but I felt a bit choked above that. You've become used to yours and play it efficiently, I suppose?
Here is the story of the Shew Horn as I heard it: The Yamaha 8310Z is a development from the 6310Z. This was based on the 6310B that Bobby Shew previously played on. It, in turn, was based on a particular Martin Committee owned by Bob McCoy (Tonight Show band, Sesame Street band etc) which had been copied by Yamaha and sold as the 636. This was a Kenosha Committee. Shew copied the feel of it but McCoy wouldn’t let him borrow it to do a proper copy. He developed this into the 6310B and then the 6310Z.
Cool comparison, Jonathan. I think you tend to play more smoothly/fluidly on the Yamaha. Did it feel/sound that way to you? Both horns sound really great though!
Sean; Greetings! The Schilke is a very nice horn, super efficient. Having said this, this Z is really nice. They all have a great bell, but this one is far more open than my last one. it’s a very good player. I’ve got it up for sale, priced a bit high, but I should I list it. Such a nice horn!
Thanks for commenting - I appreciate it. I've tried to buy the new 8310Z, and I've also tried to pick up a newer B6... in time maybe. Both are, potentially at least, such nice horns.
Well, thank you. Roger Ingram told a friend of mine in a private lesson, 'If you want to play high on a trumpet, you have to practice high.' Simple - but really profound. I almost never play above a C in practice, then I wonder why and F above C intimidates me. :) Thanks for the kind words though!
Ted, it's funny but I had very few 6335's. I had a LOT of the 8335's; I was in Houston and bought probably 8 or 10 from High School kids that had quit playing. I feel like I've missed something - because I know there are some great 6335's out there. Glad you got one - and I'm trusting it serves you well. :) Thanks very much for commenting.

The Z sounds great nice review
Thanks!
Shew surprises me. Really nice sound.

I love my B6. Big band lead player and it never disappointed after 22 years.

@@JonathanMilam1 I was always a Maynard and Bill fan. Been playing on 6A4A since 1974. Didn’t get the B6 until 1999.

Very interesting, Gordon. thanks for posting!
That’s right, Bobby told me the same thing. The original Shew Yamaha is a modified copy of a Martin Committee (not a Schilke).
Great players!
Great horns, semi-average player. :)

Hi J have you been thinging my idea that mouthpiece video ?
I have and love both these horns, but the 8310Z is a little better to handle than the B6.
😊

Impressive hitting “f” …..you don’t give yourself enough credit on range you play with plenty of power .

Yamaha is more brightly.
I agree! :) Thanks for posting!
