Frequently Asked Questions
The hollowed leadpipe softens the upper harmonics, resulting in a more rounded and less edgy tone – a deliberate design choice by Bobby Shew.
While the bell is large, the ergonomic design and trigger placement make it manageable for most players, even those with smaller hands; it's still a substantial instrument, though.
Regular polishing with a quality brass cleaner is essential to prevent tarnish and maintain the finish's luster; a soft cloth and gentle approach are key.
