Why Bare Brass with Light Lacquer?

The combination of bare brass and a delicate clear coat lacquer strikes a perfect balance between tone and durability:

• Authentic Resonance: The lightly applied lacquer allows the brass to vibrate freely, maintaining the raw, organic sound that bare brass is known for while offering a touch of polish for subtle protection.
• Warm, Centered Tone: Bare brass emphasizes the midrange frequencies, producing a tone that is warm, rounded, and full of character, ideal for both ensemble work and solo performances.
• Dynamic and Expressive: This neck offers incredible flexibility for dynamic playing, easily transitioning from soft, intimate passages to bold, powerful statements.
• Naturally Aging Aesthetic: Over time, the light lacquer will let the brass develop a patina, creating a unique, personalized look that reflects the journey of your instrument.
