Adjustable front F keyThe side F key is operated from the front, expanding the ability to produce the flageolet sound. The opening of the F key is able to be adjusted individually, so that the optimum point can be easily found.

Teflon inner octave systemBoth the ends of the octave key axis are in a ball shape and teflon is inserted in both receptacles of the ends to eliminate any looseness and ensure smooth operation.
