Frequently Asked Questions

Intonation is generally good, though lower registers might require minor adjustments – common for instruments of this type.
The valves are reasonably well-sealed for a horn in this class, but some minor leakage is possible – a typical characteristic of rotary valve designs.
The lacquer is adequate, but not exceptionally thick; expect some wear over time with consistent playing and polishing.
