The chrome-plated brass drawn inner slide is extremely durable and has a quick, sensitive response whilst the outer slide maintains an accurate diameter throughout its length. This type of construction ensures air tightness, smooth action and exceptional durability and adds resonance to the sound.
The specially designed one-piece inner slide stockings guarantee airtight slide construction, offers smoother slide action and better alignment, even in the extended 6th and 7th positions. Perfectly rounding tubing results in less turbulance and smoother airflow which allows for an excellent scale and reduced resistance when performing. A high-energy laser fuses the brass together for a very high quality bell that allows consistent, even vibrations and the large nickel-silver bracing guards against possible slide damage and lessens fatigue while playing.
