Designed for confident performance
The TWO1 replaces the respected T901 series, introducing a range of WO series refinements for players seeking dependable performance and consistent tone. Its newly engineered bore and toneholes improve airflow and intonation while creating a strong, centred tonal core throughout the instrument's range. Combined with specially sourced WO series brass, the tenor responds evenly across every register, making it equally well suited to developing musicians and experienced performers.
Comfortable keywork for smooth technique
The WO series introduces several ergonomic improvements that help playing feel more natural. Redesigned Front F, Right Side, and Right Pinky keys improve hand positioning and finger movement, while the C#-Bb rocking table supports quicker transitions between notes. Genuine mother-of-pearl key touches provide a secure, comfortable feel beneath your fingers during technical passages and extended rehearsals. Body-mounted keywork maintains the familiar response preferred by many tenor players.
Reliable action that lasts
The TWO1 includes several mechanical refinements that help maintain consistent performance over time. Blue steel needle springs provide a fast, responsive feel, while pointed pivot screws keep the keywork accurately aligned. The fluororesin-coated overslung octave mechanism reduces sticking for dependable operation, and airtight waterproof pads maintain a reliable seal while extending service life. An adjustable vibration-damping bar also helps stabilise lower-register notes for a more consistent response.
Thoughtful refinements throughout
Every detail has been designed to support tone and playability. The WO series neck plate contributes to a tighter, more controlled sound, while the palm key plate enhances upper-register resonance, projection, and tonal stability. A balanced tri-point bell brace reinforces the instrument while improving resonance, and metal adjustable bell key buffers offer durable, accurate adjustment. Supplied with various accessories, the TWO1 is ready for practice, recording, and live performance.
