Frequently Asked Questions

The Vintagein finish is a deliberately aged aesthetic, offering a more matte appearance and a slightly different feel. It's less durable than lacquer and requires more care to prevent wear.
While the ML bore makes it accessible, the horn still offers plenty of tonal flexibility for more experienced players who want a responsive and warm sound.
The 3138/2-V generally has a slightly richer and warmer tone than the 3137, due to the larger bell and hand-hammered construction, but both share a similar overall character.
