My standard Rudall design has a medium bore and large fingerholes - R&R medium.

At request other designs are available, too, for instance, a large bore version - R&R large; or my narrower model R&R from 2009.

Rudall model, African blackwood, 8 keys

Rudall model, boxwood, 8 keys

fully metal lined barrel (opened)

Standard finish:
long foot joint, solid silver rings, tuning slide (with the head joint fully lined) and a screw adjusted stopper. The standard embouchure hole is large and oval.

Tone and Response
R&R medium: great balance between the largeness of tone and the ease of play; between openness and resistance. The tone is fat, warm, round and very present with lots of harmonics.
R&R large: bigger dynamic range, feels and sounds more open and transparent with a big creamy tone and rounded high notes. The larger bore takes more air and naturally sounds darker with less harmonics when played softly.

Woods
African blackwood
European Boxwood (limited supply)
