• #1Small oval mouth hole. Excellent matching on both model.
• #2Standard oval mouth hole. Excellent matching with the uguisu model.
• #3Square mouth hole. Designed for a powerful play.
• #WaveTo improve dynamics range, embouchure blowing edge height has been raised slightly.

Posts height We have increased the usual post height to obtain a key cup position nearly parallel to the tone hole when it is opened. This will not affect the fingering or the playing.

Strap fitting In standard practice, piccolo key work straps are directly screwed into the body. However, on Josef instruments, the strap is screwed into an insert mounted in the body. This protects the wooden body from damage, allows a more accurate sound, and makes maintenance easier.

Pin-less mechanism Unusual on piccolos, all of our models use pin-less mechanism. This avoids key wear and a lot of pin-related problems.
