Gold Brass Two-Piece Bell

Despite being a custom model, the instrument uses a thin-wall, two-piece gold brass bell.
This provides a light blowing feel while producing a warm and rich sound.

Detachable Bell Specification

The detachable bell design allows the instrument to be stored compactly and carried more conveniently (MB case recommended).
The weight added by the detachable mechanism also creates a more focused sound.

Double Ball Bearing / Newly Designed Lever

A double ball-bearing mechanism is used for the rotary valve section.
The newly designed lever shape provides a simple and comfortable feel.

Removal of Reinforcement Rings on the Main Tuning Slide and F-Attachment Outer Tubes

The reinforcement rings on the main tuning slide and F-attachment outer tubes have been removed.
This lightweight design improves response.

Lightweight Slide Construction and Thin Leadpipe

To achieve lighter slide operation:

• The reinforcement parts on the outer slide brace and L-shaped brace were removed
• The braces were made slimmer
• A newly designed thin leadpipe was developed

This results in a lighter playing feel and quicker response.

Phosphor Bronze Rotary Cap 

Phosphor bronze is used for the rotary caps to match the detachable bell specification.
