Specs:
Geyer-Knopf Style Wrap: This wrap design places the change valve after the main valve block, resulting in fewer sharp bends in the tubing. This provides a very free-blowing feel, smooth slurs between registers, and a beautiful, blended tone.
- Premium Materials: The handspun brass bell delivers a warm, centered core sound, while the robust nickel silver inner and outer slides prevent corrosion and ensure smooth, fast slide action for years to come.
- Adjustable Ergonomics: Features an adjustable finger hook, allowing players of all hand sizes to find a comfortable, tension-free grip.
- Bonus Leather Hand Guard: This horn comes equipped with a high-quality aftermarket leather hand guard. This is a highly sought-after upgrade that protects the horn's lacquer from the natural oils in the player's hand, preserving the finish and providing a comfortable, secure grip.
