Frequently Asked Questions
The compensation is effective for most playing situations, but very demanding passages might reveal slight intonation compromises compared to premium instruments.
It uses Périnet valves, which are a type of piston valve – offering a more intuitive action for many players.
The larger size and breath requirements will present a learning curve, but the Périnet valve action should feel familiar, making the transition manageable.
