Frequently Asked Questions

The BE2028-2 has a noticeably darker and more focused tone than the BE916, thanks to the L-bore and handmade bell – the BE916 is brighter and more versatile.
Monel pistons are highly resistant to corrosion, so maintenance is relatively simple; regular cleaning and occasional oiling will keep them operating smoothly.
The silver plating is robust, but like all silver plate, it will wear over time with frequent handling and exposure to sweat; proper care and polishing will extend its lifespan.
