Sankyo Headjoint Cuts
RT Headjoint
The RT Cut, the most popular Sankyo headjoint style, is a modified version of the original Sankyo wave-style lip plate design. It is characterized by a full, dark, strong tone with impressive clarity and secure response. The RT Cut provides the freedom to achieve a very solid, powerful sound with an endless capacity for the airstream.
ST Cut
The ST Cut features a rich variety of tone colors, warmth and expression. The depth of sound is exceptional, allowing for spin and projection with smooth fluidity.
FT Cut
The FT Cut is known for its balanced resonance, providing consistency between the registers. The FT Cut is responsive and reliable with crisp and clean articulation.
