Frequently Asked Questions
The 'L' model's XL bore offers a more generous feel and a darker, more resonant tone compared to the standard HC2, which is slightly more focused and agile.
Schilke’s saddle and ring are designed for user-friendly adjustment, but fine-tuning for optimal intonation may benefit from a qualified technician’s expertise.
Players needing a powerful, projecting sound in a large ensemble setting, or those with a larger embouchure, will find the HC2 L’s characteristics most advantageous.
