Frequently Asked Questions
The key layout is standard, but the well-placed automatic G-ring and thumb-Ab key provide a subtle ergonomic advantage, particularly for faster passages.
Amati uses carefully selected and seasoned maple, and the matte lacquer helps to protect the wood from environmental changes, minimizing the risk of cracking.
The included bocal is a standard, functional model, but it's easily replaceable; many players swap them out to fine-tune their tone, and a wide variety of bocals are readily available.
