Frequently Asked Questions
The ATV system utilizes a modified bearing design and improved airflow paths, resulting in noticeably quicker response and reduced friction compared to older Miraphone designs.
The gold plating is primarily on the smaller parts – valve casings, levers, and some trim – to protect the nickel silver and enhance the visual appeal. The main body and bell remain silver-plated.
There’s a learning curve, primarily with intonation and hand positioning. However, the ATV system's smoothness minimizes the usual challenges associated with rotary valve flugelhorns.
