Patent filed on 04/05/2021 n Ā° 102021000011294
What advantages do I offer you?
An excellent and advanced management of your instrument in all its aspects and on any mouthpieces.
Ease and intuitiveness, flexibility, a wide dynamic range, excellent intonation and homogeneity in all registers with a great sound projection.
I am unique because with me you find your sound and your playing safe-zone.
Free your performance!
And if you allow me, I’m beautiful too!
Seeing is believing!
MY VALUE IS INNOVATION
I can move around the embouchure by changing the tone of your instrument.
A glide towards the tip gives a clear timbre; a compact start and you can hear the sound more in front of you
Closer to you the sound will be with a soft start
Iām made in such a way to give immediate and flexibility output through your instrument for all tunes / styles moving with ease between āpianissimoā and āfortissimoā
I leave the reed full freedom to vibrate and I can change the elastic strenght.
The reeds are thus stressed less and have a longer duration over time.
