Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What's the difference between baroque and German fingering?
They differ mainly on F and B-flat. Baroque is standard in most English-language method books; German simplifies F but complicates other notes later on.
02Is this right for a school music class?
Yes, if the class uses baroque fingering. Soprano is the standard classroom size and the price suits buying in quantity.
03How do I clean it?
Pull it apart and swab the bore dry after each session. The translucent body shows when moisture is still sitting inside.
04Is the pink just the color, or does it play differently?
Color only. The pink translucent version plays the same as other finishes in this model.
