THEIN Mouthpiece recommendation: THEIN 1 ½ CFF, THEIN P3
THEIN recommended configuration: Trigger on 1st and 4th valve.
When purchasing the instrument, a conversion set for the G tuning can be purchased. It is directly fitted to the instrument.
Features
The R-Model combines the advantages of the H-Model with its bright, warm and overtone-rich sound with even more brightness and focus for easy playability. The uniquely good intonation in both tunings should also be emphasized in the R-Model.
