Italian leather pads create a great seal that translates into a fuller sound that is more responsive which lasts longer than conventional pads.

• The instrument also features High F# and Front F keys and a floating plate design for the little finger (left hand) cluster, this aids faster movement once players have become proficient. An adjustable thumb rest allows a more natural and comfortable hand position to be achieved.

• A sling ring also provides the opportunity to make the instrument even lighter with the use of the provided sling or harness.  The appearance of the JP245 has been enhanced with elaborate engraving and white pearl touch-pieces.
