Frequently Asked Questions

The 6R leadpipe is the key difference – it offers significantly improved response and a more modern feel compared to the older 1700’s more traditional leadpipe.
Yes, the gold brass offers a richer, more complex tone with better projection and a warmer timbre, justifying the price premium for discerning players.
While manageable, the medium-large bore requires a bit more air support; if you’re smaller or a less experienced player, you might find it slightly more demanding than a smaller bore model.
