Frequently Asked Questions
The 62A 04 features significant improvements in the lower register intonation and a more refined keywork feel, representing a noticeable upgrade over previous generations.
The amber lacquer is beautiful but softer than some finishes; regular polishing with a dedicated brass polish will help maintain its luster and prevent excessive wear.
