Its hand-adjusted, light key action and blue steel springs are aimed at quick technical work, while the adjustable thumb rest supports a customized playing position. Pisoni Pro pads and three-phase tone-hole leveling address consistent pad seating. It arrives with a lightweight ballistic nylon case and Selmer R404 mouthpiece for transport and playing setup.
