Frequently Asked Questions

The 72 bell shape offers a darker, more focused sound with a slightly smaller bell diameter, resulting in a more controlled projection compared to the wider 62 bell.
While versatile, the ML bore’s darker tone and slightly slower response might not be the first choice for extremely fast, high-register lead playing; a lighter bore would be more responsive.
With proper care and regular polishing, the silver plating should last for many years, but wear will inevitably occur depending on playing frequency and environment.
