During live and studio performances with a metal body, there is often a need for more power, intensity, and solidity. This can be achieved through mass, directivity, or various other factors. However, simply making the body thicker is not a solution; a harsh feel or a sound that is simply hard will not motivate the player. The BTR-1465 has a wide range, power, intensity, and above all, tone. The sound produced by the 3mm thick seamless brass body has unparalleled presence even at high volumes, and the Canopus original edge shape, made specifically for the BTR, efficiently brings out the expressive power that allows the player to express their intentions as they wish.
