THE NECK AND BELL ARE BOTH SILVER PLATED TO ENHANCE THE SOUND MAKING IT A VERY RICH, SWEET, MELLOW TONE.
THE NECK AND BELL ARE ALSO ANNEALED TO IMPROVE THE SOUND EVEN MORE BECAUSE THE ANNEALING PROCESS TAKES OUT THE IMPURITIES IN THE BRASS AND TEMPERS IT.
This process of annealing the metal makes the horn resonate much more freely, because it takes out the internal stress of the metal and it tempers it making it stronger.
The process consists of heating the metal and cooling it down very slowly.
THE RESULT IS A MORE DISTINCTIVE AND CRISPER SOUND WHICH HELPS FROM THE LOW SUBTONES TO THE HIGH ALTISSIMO REGISTER.
