[Features]
The "Symphony" (discontinued model) is a top-of-the-line model from BSC (Brass Sound Creation), led by Japanese craftsman Tomomi Kato, who resides in Germany. This instrument was created by fusing traditional handmade techniques with modern acoustic theory, in pursuit of a "warm, rich resonance reminiscent of the human voice."
The appeal common to all BSC instruments lies not simply in their loud volume, but in their three-dimensional resonance that carries far while maintaining a solid core of energy at the center of the sound. This model, too, features a uniquely designed bell structure with a rear reinforcement (spine), ensuring that the sound does not scatter even when played with a rough embouchure, producing a dense, well-defined sound.It doesn’t get lost in forte passages, yet blends naturally into an ensemble. This exquisite sense of balance is precisely the charm that makes it worthy of the name “Symphony.”
Although the bore size is a standard ML bore, the playing feel is closer to that of a tight, small bore. The response is delicate, and the contours of the sound are clear. Yet, it lacks any harshness that grates on the ears, offering a fine-grained, mellow tone.
For those who seek not flashy volume or stimulating brilliance, but a sound that sings richly within the music and naturally reaches the listener’s heart. This instrument allows you to experience the very essence of the BSC sound that Mr. Kato has pursued for many years.
