Mouthpiece: 1 1/8"
Weight: 5 lb 14 oz

Price: ~~$525~~ ON SALE $450

40% dark bore. The dark bore treatment is moderate in this one, and the Elm has a hard resonance, so the tone is hard and bright anyway. The treatment takes the edge off just the shrillest high frequencies. The taper and roughness in the bore creates a lot of edge, bite and pop. Very trad in character and responds exceptionally well to tongue and throat pops and rapid fire toots. Solid backpressure with some blunt choppiness in the playing feel. Blue Paua inlay, gloss finish.

HOLY COW!! The base of this one is 18 inches across! I was lucky enough to find this wild piece with some of the root mass still attached which created this wild forked bell. Though I generally eschew voluminous bells myself, this one does not create undue boom or honk that annhiliates the other sound complexities. I believe this is because of the fork, as it is not an enclosed bell shape. It is a fantastic powerful punchy player with solid backpressure, good sensitivity and room to move when pushed. Great tonal balance with strong bass, lots of power, growl and great projection. Black Sun/Star motif, paua shell inlay and high gloss finish.

Weight: 6 lb 4 oz
Price: ~~$395~~ ON SALE $295

Ripper instrument for intermediate to advanced player. Very trad-ish tonality and response. Sound character is full yet also bright and edgy, turning rough when pushed with a bit of pressure, and especially when coupled with a bit of underlying vocalization. Medium solid backpressure with room to push it allows for rough pops and accents in varying degrees from tongue and throat movements coupled with varying playing pressure. Very cool piece of wood with semi open/forked bell. Satin finish

A restless rhythmic instrument with bright yet full sound, and bright harmonics. Balanced attributes in terms of overall tone, playing qualities and backpressure. Easy playing without being tight or overly growly. A great instrument for the studio. Responsive to trad-ish and contemporary rhythmic styles. Black stain highligths natural grain. Satin finish.
