Frequently Asked Questions

The hand-lapped Monel valves are exceptionally smooth and quick, often exceeding the feel of standard valves found on many instruments in this category, providing a very responsive feel.
The 123mm bell provides ample flare, allowing for a full, well-projected sound that captures well in recording situations, although careful mic placement is still important.
Players with a mature embouchure and a preference for a darker, richer tone will find the 11.65mm bore most rewarding; those seeking a brighter, more agile response might find it less suitable.
