Frequently Asked Questions

The 43 bell shape tends to focus the sound slightly, resulting in a richer, darker tone with a more controlled projection compared to a wider, more open bell design.
Absolutely, hand-hammering creates subtle irregularities in the bell's surface, which contribute to a more complex and vibrant tonal character and improved resonance.
Regular polishing with a silver-specific cloth is essential to prevent tarnish. Professional cleaning is recommended periodically to maintain the finish and valve function.
