is that an Eb bell?
make sure there are 2 slides on 4th valve, so you can tune it to main 4th slide all the way in, then have the option to pull it and pop it right back.

Considerably smaller than the Viverna. Here is the new ¾ next to Dragon (4-valve version of Viverna)Three Valves wrote:This one is different/smaller than the 4 valve Viverna you mentioned??

It shares bell with the TE560 Champion Eb. We wanted larger diameter bell to make more secure if students placed on bellTheGoyWonder wrote:is that an Eb bell?

What's the status of this horn? Still in development? Just curious when it will go up on the website.

Definitely a cool design. Nice to see some 3/4 horns with a larger bell. Interested to see what they will be selling for.
