Resin inner
octave mechanism
Both ends of the octave key shaft are machined into a spherical shape, and a thin resin is inserted into the receiving part to ensure smooth movement without rattling.

C♯-B♭
interlocking table keys
A seesaw mechanism is used between the C# and B♭ keys, allowing for faster and smoother fingering.

C#-B
Interlocking Table Key
In addition to the C#-B♭ link, a seesaw mechanism is also used between C# and B. This is our unique system that achieves smooth linkage.

Right hand balance key
resonance (anti-vibration) mechanism
This mechanism prevents the right-hand balance key from resonating when playing bass notes, enabling stable bass playing.

White pearl key
The white mother-of-pearl keys are beautiful to look at, have a natural touch, and fit your fingers perfectly. They also have the added benefit of being less slippery when sweaty.

Left hand side key, single key base
, long key base
The purpose of this is to increase the strength of the weld between the body and the key post, but it also serves to protect the body from damage caused by impacts to the post. It also provides a solid midrange resonance, a sense of weight and projection across the entire range, and excellent sound stability.

Sam the Wizard
The fingering hook has a structure that makes contact with the body of the instrument at points, resulting in a rich sound. The thumb rest is made of brass, providing a smooth playing experience and reducing variation in tone.

Pointed
Pivot Screw
We use highly accurate and reliable pointed screws. We achieve high precision with no wobbling in any direction of the center arm. This speaks to our commitment and high technical capabilities, with no compromise on even a single screw.

Highly airtight waterproof pad
Its excellent airtightness allows for stable performance without breathlessness. It also has excellent waterproofing, which extends the life of the pads.

Metal Booster
Metal reflectors attached to the pads make the sound bright and clear, allowing for responsive playing from pianissimo to fortissimo.

Needle Spring
Made of spring steel, which is more elastic than stainless steel, it provides a quick response and is effective in handling difficult passages.

Double Arm Key
By transmitting force with two arms, twisting and distortion of the cup is prevented. Durability is also improved.

three point support column
The bell and body are fixed with a three-point finger support, ensuring high rigidity. Even at fortissimo, it produces a solid sound.
