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.

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.

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.

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.
