Frequently Asked Questions
The Manji has a more complex and brighter tone with more projection; the HA-20 is more mellow and focused, trading some versatility for affordability.
It's a subtle effect, adding warmth and a slight organ-like sustain, but don't expect a direct B3 replication. It's a pleasant characteristic, not a dramatic transformation.
The phosphor bronze reeds are generally robust, but aggressive playing and improper maintenance will shorten their lifespan compared to higher-end reeds.
