Marigaux Grand Lemaire II Semi-Automatic Suggested Retail Price: ¥1,056,000 Two trill systems have been added to the popular Lemaire, resulting in more comprehensive key equipment. In addition to improved operability that can handle various passages, a calm, symphonic resonance has been achieved, enabling a wider range of musical expression. The equipment upgrades have improved the grade. Third Octave Key, Left F Key, Fork F Resonance Key, Low B♭ Resonance Key Low H-C#, C#-D#, D#-E, F#-G#, A♭-B♭, A#-H, H-C#, Left Hand C-D, Right Hand C-D Body Material: Grenadilla Key Material: Nickel Silver, Silver Plated D#-E Trill Double Ring System In addition to the existing D#-E trill function, a double ring system, which is also found in professional models such as the 901 and M2, has been added. This allows for accurate intonation of F# even while holding down the left D# lever, making it easier to play phrases where C#-D#-F# are consecutive. Low H-C Trill System This system automatically closes the C# key when operating the Low H or Low B♭ lever, even when the right pinky C# lever is pressed. This system is effective not only for trills but also for fast passages. First Octave Key By adopting a new spring system similar to the 901 and M2, operational troubles with the first octave key have been significantly reduced. A♭-B♭ Trill Key An essential trill key for wind ensembles, which often feature flat keys. Without this key, playing the A♭-B♭ trill becomes extremely difficult. It is also used for the A#-H trill. [Joint] Metallic parts are used for the connections between the upper joint and lower joint, and between the lower joint and the bell. This not only makes assembly smoother but also prevents problems caused by changes in the wood. [Body] The body uses high-grade grenadilla, the same as professional models. This produces a dense and rich sound. [Case] A dedicated dark crimson case, the Marigaux color. Standard equipment only for the Lemaire and Palace Edition. Case Cover The popular Marigaux case cover. Features such as the shoulder belt and large pocket are well-received.
