Frequently Asked Questions
The EB finish is much more resistant to tarnish and corrosion, requiring less frequent polishing than a lacquer finish, but may not offer the same 'bright' initial tone.
The included mouthpiece is a solid starting point, but many players will eventually want to experiment with different models to fine-tune their tone and response.
The 3148/2-E offers a significantly richer and more complex tone, with improved projection and a wider dynamic range, due to the higher-grade materials and refined design.
