For you, as a professional player, you will find the RC model which was already the world reference, received a redesign in 2014 benefiting from ten years of acoustical research and development.

You will notice that the overall intonation of the instrument has been reviewed and enhanced to better adapt to the ever-increasing demands of the musician.

It has a warm, centered tone, good projection, and its improved evenness of response and intonation will give pure satisfaction to you aspiring to a professional level.  The warm tone is very flexible being able to tackle the most virtuoso runs and soft delicate solos found in orchestral repertoire.
