The large bore of Fossati S coupled with its thin-walled body gives the instrument a round tone coupled with excellent flexibility. The balance between its bore and the placement of its tone holes, gives its tuning uniformity throughout its range.
The roundness of its tone, its flexibility, and homogeneity makes the S very comfortable to play.
