In order to be able to create a much lighter instrument, Yamaha designed the YTR-2330 without a brace on the main tuning slide, which creates a benefit from that ideal thickness of the two-piece yellow brass bell.

The balanced weight of the instrument and the addition of a adjustable third valve allows a more natural hand position and promotes a better playing technique, while the water key on the third valve slide ads to the easiness of use and over-all playability of the YTR-2300 trumpet.
