Frequently Asked Questions

The .413 bore offers a slightly darker, more focused tone compared to wider bores, lending itself well to lyrical playing and blending in ensembles.
Yes, the leadpipes are designed for easy swapping; the 10.2 mm leadpipe offers a more responsive feel, while the 10.5 mm provides a slightly darker, rounder tone.
