[Features & Attractiveness]
SILVER FLARE model with pure silver used for the bell flare. Active with the Lincoln Jazz Orchestra and as a soloist.Marcus Printup, who is active in the Lincoln Jazz Orchestra and as a soloist, is a favorite of this model. The overall form is the same as the UNIVERSAL MAX, but the tonal characteristics are very different. From sweet and soft tones to edgy and intense sounds, the rich variety of tones that can be produced by a single unit is appealing.
