Frequently Asked Questions

The B7 is generally brighter and more focused than the B1 (rounder, warmer) and the B3 (more projecting, darker), offering a distinct tonal character suited for lead playing.
Silver plating is less durable than raw brass and requires regular polishing to prevent tarnish; a soft cloth and silver polish will help maintain its shine and protect the metal.
The B7's M bore offers a surprisingly responsive action, but it still requires a degree of embouchure strength to fully utilize its capabilities – it's not a 'pusher' but not the easiest horn either.
