Our Description

NOTES FROM WIBB:

2212 - C-C# too large by far. C# mostly sharp. 

Ab - Bb - C - Db

1-2-3 already a little high! 4, Db much worse. 

 

October 2020

This will only just get up to A441 if pushed right in. I.e a bit too flat: needs shortening) but sound quality very promising!!! However it looks as if I should move the head socket downwards 4 to 5 mm!!! (G down to low C matches AL quite well - in fact whole scale matches quite well!)

19.10 / HEADJ. NO FIT!!!
