Being particular about slide action - short stroke and long stroke.
To respond to the feelings of players who wish to challenge more advanced songs, two kinds of slide actions are being in a line-up. Long stroke for 16-hole model, long and short stroke for 12-hole model are adopted.

Long stroke – as the distance of slide movement is long, holes are large which make it possible to send much breath. As a result, the response of sound, sound dropout are good and the bass part can obtain particularly powerful sound. It will be used much for pops and jazz music.

Short stroke – as the distance of slide movement is short and changing notes quickly when pressing slide, it is advantageous for fine sound use. Also since the entrance of holes are smaller than long stroke, there is moderate resistance, which make it easy to control the sound. It will be suitable for playing jazz and classical music.

The width of the choices for players depending on the music which players want to play and the performance characteristics are commitment to Fabulous.
