Frequently Asked Questions

The 180-43 represents a refinement, offering a more consistent manufacturing process and slightly improved valve action compared to some older 180 models, but retains that classic Bach tone.
While versatile, the 43 bell is best suited for players with some experience; its focused projection requires more control than a wider bell shape.
The ML bore excels for players who prioritize agility and a quick response; it's a great choice for those who frequently play in the upper register or need a very responsive instrument.
