Beauty and the Beast



  VALVE BEAUTY

Half-valving adds the missing chromatic notes, as well as the ability to bend both blow and draw notes.
I use SAXONY state-of-art valves by default.

Other valve materials possible on demand.

I do general reed work for "valve beauties". This encludes embossing for better response, and optimal gapping for use of valve bends.

  OVERBLOW BEAST

Advanced overblow set-up delivers the full potential of the instrument. Most overblows can be bent up 2-3 semitones, and used with vibrato.

This is an uncompromised set-up for professional players.
