The lip slurs just work. I'm not sure how exactly it's different than a Bach, but yes...it's easier.I've tried all 3 of ours (plus the others we've had in the past) & I really like the consistency from one to another.The intonation (especially on the 5th partial) is very good.It seems as though this horn is either equally resistant or slightly more resistant compared to Bachs. Bachs can vary quite a bit.The sound is identical to the Bach 37. I mean...it's clearly what this horn was based on. I had a friend of mine play on a 37 & the B&S, & I couldn't tell much of a difference.
If you're looking for that classic Bach sound and feel at a more affordable price, this is the horn for you!Come by and play this instrument againstanything we have in the store.
