Where do our brand name Scherzer come from?<\/h2>\n
Meister Johannes Scherzer: Emil Knoth after he studied and worked under Phillip Reichel from 1884 – 1900 founded the RINO workshop in Markneukirchen.<\/p>\n
His son Kurt Knoth then took over and moved the workshop to Mosenstreet where his nephew Johannes Scherzer studied,worked after the war and made his mastership in 1951. Johannes Scherzer builds in the initial workshop the entire line of brass, but he would from the VEB to rotary valve trumpets limited because its Piccolo had worldwide “Forex Success”. Pierre Thibaud, and then Maurice Andre made it well known.

What is a 3B linkage system?<\/h2>\n
In contrary to the existing linkages, the new 3B linkage system uses two stell balls in bronze ball bearings for each valve in order to optimise the transmission: one ball connects the valve action rod to the bottom of the lever, the other one is connected to the stop arm.<\/p>\n
3B stands for “Bronze Ball Bearing”, or in other words for a steel ball that is held within a bronze bearing. Additionally to this perfect gliding combination of steel and bronze, a spring on the connector to the valve action rod keeps the linkage in an optimal position to guarantee a perfectly smooth moving. In the end, it feels not much different to a string mechanism rotary valve.<\/p>\n
On my older instrument, will red spots visible- what is it?<\/h2>\n
This is most likely a so-called “red dot”, a copper hole. Constant exposure of moisture – for example when the instrument after playing not drying – after a long period leads to dezikinfication. That means the zinc is removed from the connection material is removed or “corrode” and the red dot left behind. The affected part must be replaced. This is easy with a little care to avoid.<\/p>\n
Please see also our care instructions.<\/a><\/p>\nIncidentally, gold brass (and silver) is largely resistant to dezikinfication.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
