Frequently Asked Questions

The 3B ball bearing linkage system significantly reduces friction, making the action noticeably smoother and faster than some earlier Scherzer rotary designs.
While versatile, the larger bore leans towards a richer, darker tone; players seeking a brighter, more agile sound might prefer a smaller bore.
The included mouthpieces offer a range of cup depths and throat diameters allowing players to experiment and find the optimal match for their embouchure and desired tone.
