The 322II is a single horn in Bb with a beautiful clear tone and well centered notes. It provides security and comfort in the mid-to-upper range without sacrificing any sound in the lower register. The comfortable weight and balance increase endurance in younger players, while accurate intonation and immediate response enhance technique. An A/plus stop valve is included to eliminate the need to transpose during stopped passages. An optional slide is available as an add-on accessory to change the function of the stop valve into an intonation aid for lower notes and to make it possible to play a low C concert.
