Description
The BR type features many brass parts for a brilliant tone and free playability. Accurate pitch performance that is characteristic of the Xeno Artist Model.
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.
Rather than the Xeno Artist Model’s 2-piece valve casing configuration that has a nickel silver upper section and a brass lower section, 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 lead pipe 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.
