Technical description: African blackwood with probably silver keys and ferrules. The sockets are unlined, but the reed well is lined with metal. Automatic octave keys. All the long L4 keys are levers. The axle for the upper section rings is on the left of the instrument (lying under the left hand); the middle section axle is in the standard position. B♭4 may be played forked (ie fingered L1 and L3). A rocking linkage between the rings L2 and L3 enables the correct octave key to be selected so that the forked fingering may also be used for B♭5. The low|C key is not connected to the right hand rings. There is a linkage allowing low|B to be played with R4 on the low|C or C♯ key. L0: @I{8.1; B♭; low|B; low|B♭. 8.1 is in normal position above the rest position, B♭ is right of thumb rest position, low|B is below thumb rest position, low|B♭ lies over low|B key with a roller to facilitate low|B-low|B♭ movement.
