Applications and Characteristics:
The input of Paul Riggett of Sterling Brass is clear in the build quality and lively performance. This instrument has made a name for itself both as a step up (because it is financially accessible) and also at very much higher levels. Once again it is a priced to fit into the middle range and yet the high specification and build quality enable it to compete extremely well against the more expensive Yamaha & Besson baritone horns.
