Number: #17

Key: High D

Date completed: November 2023

Type: A telescoping brass high D model with white plastic head and blue fipple plug. It collapses to just under 6 inches. if you collapse it too far you might have to disassemble the three pieces to get the bottom one pulled out again - don't panic!

Volume: It plays quietly with a light airflow so good breath control is important if you want to use it for home practice. I think it could punch through at some sessions too, especially in the second octave, if you give it a bit more air.

Status: Sold in May 2024 to a buyer in California, USA

Additional details: The tone is clear. Both OXXOOO and OXXXOX work for C natural with very slight differences; you may find you prefer the tone of one over the other. It is a little less prone to condensation clogging in colder areas due to having a plastic headpiece.
