Handcrafted in the USA with hand-fitted slides and monel pistons
Large .470 bore for a big, full sound that won’t break up when pushed hard
Slightly larger 5 1/16" bell to match the high volume of air
Reverse leadpipe for an open, unobstructed feel
Standard lightweight bell for quicker response (this feature also seems to counteract the dull sound usually associated with bronze or copper bells)
Minimal bracing keeping the horn free to vibrate
Heavy extended mouthpiece receiver to concentrate the energy at the entry point of the horn for maximum efficiency. (Some non-standard mouthpieces may not seat properly. Known models that do not fit properly; Monette STC, Hammond Symphonic)
Standard and medium weight bottom valve caps included
Removable end slide on the 3rd valve slide instead of a water key to minimize air turbulence
Standard water key on the main slide for ease of use and quick water release (Amado keys optional)
Two sets of interchangeable valve springs standard – 1 set for a light, quick feel, 1 set for a rigid, secure feel
