PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
For tonal quality that is round and full, the Boston model has found favor with both symphonic, studio and jazz players who are looking for a rounder tonal quality in the lower and middle ranges, while retaining a freedom in the upper register. With specially designed bottom and top valve caps and harmonic balancers fitted on the first and third tuning slides where beneficial, the horn emits balance and finesse in smaller environments, such as recording studios, while having the body of sound needed for concert halls.
