Frequently Asked Questions

The HC1 S’s XL bore provides a significantly darker, richer tone and greater projection than the DC1's more compact bore, but the DC1 offers more agility.
The silver plating is durable but will require regular polishing to prevent tarnish, especially with frequent use and exposure to sweat.
Players needing a powerful, resonant tone for larger ensembles or solo performance will find the XL bore’s projection and tonal depth extremely beneficial.
