Frequently Asked Questions

The R10’s yellow brass bell provides a clear, projecting tone, generally brighter than those from red brass, but still possessing warmth.
Yes, Rath uses high-quality nickel silver; with proper care and occasional cleaning, the slides should provide years of reliable service.
A medium-large cup mouthpiece (like a 12C or 14C) will complement the R10’s response and projection well, but ultimately depends on your personal preference.
