Xeno Artist Model BR type
The Xeno Artist Model is now available in a BR type that brings even more possibilities. The BR type features many brass parts for a brilliant tone and free playability.
The New York series BR type was developed in close cooperation with David Bilger. Based on traditional styling with advanced refinements, the New York Series offers superb presence and brilliance with solid playing resistance.
Both the upper and lower sections of BR type valve casing are made of brass, including the top and bottom caps.
Brass has a lower specific gravity than nickel silver, resulting in a brighter tone and freer playing feel.
The bell features a design that is narrower toward the valve casing. A square-cornered bell bow that provides the performer with ideal blowing resistance. This results in a more “three-dimensional” sound, with a strong tonal core that improves upper register playability.
A French bead is an advanced technique that matches the curl to the shape of a semi-cylindrical rim and is characterised by improved feedback of sound to the performer.
The leadpipe on BR type is a Malone Pipe™ that has a thinner wall than Xeno Artist Model leadpipe. The Malone Pipe has been carefully selected to enhance tone and playability in a way that augments the character of the instrument’s brass components.
