We’ve refined the ergonomics of the left-hand palm keys. Angling the key touches more toward the bell affords more control.

The orientation and shape of the key touches for the high-G and high-F# keys have been improved to facilitate smoother operation (on interchangeable models only).

The right-hand key spatulas for low C and D# have been moved forward for easier reach and improved action by the little finger.

Nickel-silver has replaced brass as the material for the G hinge rod on the upper stack. As a harder alloy, it adds strength and durability while helping the mechanism stay in good adjustment.

The neckpiece on interchangeable models is reinforced with a trapezoidal plate that delivers a nice sense of resistance with tonal colors that boast more depth.
