While pursuing the basic style of bamboo handles preferred by many performers, this series also incorporates practical considerations.
PRO-1001 / Baroque-style blower. Faithfully reproduces the original blower style from Bach's era.
PRO-1002, 1003 / Features a traditional Dresden-style bamboo handle + flannel hook. When you want to perform classical to romantic and modern pieces with clear tones, its precise feel will provide excellent assistance to the performer.
PRO-1004~1008 / Features a bamboo handle and German felt, creating a unified sound with a spherical head. Although it uses a cork core without an R-shape that traditionally produces a bright sound, new manufacturing techniques have added a deeper resonance, allowing for a more expansive and three-dimensional sound in performances.
