Frequently Asked Questions

Orchestra tuning emphasizes the lower register, creating a fuller, richer sound and allowing for more drone-like effects, unlike the more balanced standard tuning.
The ABS comb is exceptionally durable and resistant to moisture and cracking, often outlasting wooden combs, though some players prefer the traditional feel of wood.
While the stainless steel reeds offer a bright, articulate tone, it’s a matter of personal preference. If you prefer a warmer, more mellow sound, consider experimenting with reed modification techniques.
