Fourth rotary A/plus stop valve
The rotary A/plus stop valve eliminates the need to transpose during stopped passages. This valve also puts the horn into the key of A.
Leadpipe taper
The taper of the leadpipe improves response and intonation throughout the instrument.
Wrap
The wrap of this model allows for a more comfortable hand position and smoother air flow.
Nickel silver inner and outer slides
The use of nickel silver inner and outer slides ensures better fit and less chance of corrosion because nickel-silver is harder and more durable than brass.
Tapered valves
Tapered valves wear for a long time without air leakage.
Beautiful tone and well-centered notes
The single Bb horn provides security and comfort in the mid-to-upper range without sacrificing any sound in the lower register.
Comfortable weight and balance
These features increase endurance in younger players.
Accurate intonation and immediate response
The intonation and response of the single Bb horn enhances technique for players.
