One-Piece Bell Resonates with Rich Tone

The 82ZII's one-piece bell is hand-hammered for optimal resonance, improving low-end response and tone. Musicians can explore a wider range of tonal colors for a signature sound. The bell's seamless construction and tapered shape enhance resonance and projection.

Domed Resonators Expand Dynamic Expression

Domed metal resonators deliver an outstanding response with a wider dynamic range. Notes ring clearly at every volume, from the softest whispers to the loudest roars. Musicians can shape phrasing with nuance and express the full breadth of their musical ideas.

V1 Neck Provides a Free-Blowing Feel

The 82ZII's V1 neck is designed for a free-blowing feel and maximum flexibility. Its wide bore taper allows air to flow freely, enabling musicians to bend pitches and explore a range of extended techniques with ease. The V1 neck's design provides an open feel for effortless playability.

Improved Mechanisms Promote Fluid Playability

Refinements to the 82ZII's mechanism improve seal and response across the range. Notes from low B to C# sound clearly with a proper seal for a full tone throughout the low register. A lighter thumb hook and rest also enhance response and tonal cohesion. An adjustable altissimo mechanism gives players control over resistance in the upper register. These features combine for a fluid playing experience and mastery over the entire range of the instrument.
