When you look at the actual instruments, they are stamped as YTR-8445CH. This is made more confusing as Yamaha themselves market some particular trumpets with an 'S' in their marketing material but not actually stamped on the same instument, eg: the Xeno Artist Series trumpets, only available in silver plate but marketed by Yamaha as YTR-8445CHS in all of their published material. If a model is only available in a silver plate configuration it would appear that the 'S' is not used, eg: YTR-9610. It would appear that the 'S' is only used when a particular model is offered in both a lacquered version and silver plate version. Additionally, note that 'S' is NOT used for ALL silver plated instruments though. It is not used to denote a Small Bore even though the 'Custom' range of Bb and C trumpets from 1982-85 started including the bore size in the model number similar to Bach's (eg: YTR-9330ML).
The letter 'S' is used to denote Silver Plating.
