Frequently Asked Questions

The ML bore produces a more focused, slightly brighter tone compared to a conical bore, which tends to be more open and resonant.
The stainless steel valves are generally quite responsive, though they may require a bit of break-in to achieve optimal smoothness. They’re a noticeable step up from cheaper piston valve options.
While playable for beginners, the weight and slightly more complex mechanics benefit from some prior experience; a teacher’s guidance is recommended.
