Frequently Asked Questions

It's genuinely effective; players consistently report improved intonation on middle and high C# after a brief adjustment period.
While the changes are subtle, the redesigned key placement and lever system may require a short period of adaptation for players accustomed to traditional Selmer ergonomics.
