Response that brass body made possible

Precisely machined brass body is highly airtight, and it can express original sound of reed thoroughly due to its high rigidity. The sound quality is smooth and round by adding silver plating.

Keystone for balanced sound quality - special reed

The reed pursued compatibility with the brass body thoroughly from the aspect of "volume", "sound quality", "functionality", and reeds are designed all for Fabulous. By optimizing the length and the shape of reeds for each note, the volume and playability are balanced sound quality. Also using a thicker plate to make the brass body sound effectively. Firm and deep sound are realized.

Smooth mouthpiece and slide developed and created thoroughly.

The inner surface of the mouthpiece is processed to a special shape so that breath can flow smoothly. Also coating with gold plating on the surface, smooth feeling on mouth is realized. The slide ensured a very smooth feeling and high airtightness by precise machining.

Distinguished cover design generated from function.

The distinguished cover is a unique shape of Suzuki designed to fit the hand so as to firmly support the weighty model. At the same time, this shape also plays an important role of making the sound roundness. It is finished with an elegant shine of silver plating.

Being particular about slide action - short stroke and long stroke

To respond to the feelings of players who wish to challenge more advanced songs, two kinds of slide actions are being in a line-up. Long stroke for 16-hole model, long and short stroke for 12-hole model are adopted.

Long stroke – as the distance of slide movement is long, holes are large which make it possible to send much breath. As a result, the response of sound, sound dropout are good and the bass part can obtain particularly powerful sound. It will be used much for pops and jazz music.

Short stroke – as the distance of slide movement is short and changing notes quickly when pressing slide, it is advantageous for fine sound use. Also since the entrance of holes are smaller than long stroke, there is moderate resistance, which make it easy to control the sound. It will be suitable for playing jazz and classical music.

The width of the choices for players depending on the music which players want to play and the performance characteristics are commitment to Fabulous.
