ALTUS 1607

 

 

The procedure of soldering a tube may be more difficult and, therefore, more costly than drawing it, as is mostly customary today; however, this is a particularly gentle method of handling the material. As there is significantly less tension in the material, the vibration characteristics of the instrument are improved. The result is an immense richness of harmonics and great dynamic possibilities for an extremely expressive performance in all registers.
