Frequently Asked Questions

The TB1 has a brighter, more focused tone than the Legend, which is known for its darker, warmer sound. The TB1’s hand-hammered bell contributes to its greater projection and clarity.
It might require some adjustment; the L-bore offers slightly more resistance, so players accustomed to a more free-blowing feel should be prepared for a different playing experience.
The open-wrap is perfect for players who prioritize agility and quick response, especially those playing in demanding orchestral or solo settings.
