Frequently Asked Questions
It allows independent chord and bass reed control, enabling nuanced playing and complex rhythmic patterns not possible with traditional setups – a real game-changer for experienced players.
While projecting beautifully, the Cassotto's resonance can be tamed with careful mic placement and gain staging, but it’s definitely geared towards larger spaces or well-treated rooms.
With proper care, reeds can last decades, and the bellows should be regularly oiled; professional servicing every few years is recommended to maintain optimal performance and longevity.
