Plastic-Coated Octave Rocker

Eliminates key noise and ensures smooth octave mechanism action through fluororesin coating.

C#-Bb Rocker

The rocker between low C# and low Bb key buttons supports fast and effortless finger technique.

Adjustable Lever for Vibration Damping

This improvement dampens the sympathetic vibration of the F# key on the lower mechanism, resulting in more stable response of the low notes.

Genuine Mother-of-Pearl Inlays

Embedded mother-of-pearl inlays not only look premium but provide a natural feel under the fingers and are less slippery than plastic inlays.

Metal Thumb Rest and Thumb Hook

The metal thumb hook with minimal contact to the body allows freer sound. The metal thumb rest enables softer response and a more balanced tone.

Pointed Screws

Special pointed screws are used for highest precision and reliability to keep keys and rods exactly in position.

Sealed, Water-Repellent Pads

Airtight pads ensure sealing, while the water-repellent coating contributes to durability.

Needle Springs

Heat-treated steel needle springs are more elastic than simple stainless steel springs, offering faster key action and improving key response in fast passages.

Three-Point Cup Support

The three-point cup support provides structural stability and stiffness, enhancing resonance especially in the fortissimo range.
