Because brass has a lower specific gravity than nickel silver, the BR configuration supports a more brilliant tone and a more open, agile playing feel while maintaining the precise intonation associated with the Xeno platform. The narrower bell design toward the valve casing and the square-cornered bell bow add defined blowing resistance for a more three-dimensional sound and improved upper-register stability.
