A mid-range quality instrument, half way between the student and professional models. It has additional adjustment screws (see below) and produces an excellent, full sound.  Good condition


(Instruments in the 'mid-quality' range usually cost (new) around £700, give or take, so this instrument is at a bargain price).  

The "Emperor"has three additional screws often not found on many expensive instruments (and certainly not on 'student' instruments) - three important and extremely useful adjustments screws that anyone, without being technical, can use to re-coordinate some of the action.  They are seen in close-ups below,  the first on the foot, perched on the roller-key, which enables you to set the low C# and C keys to operate simultaneously;  and the other two to be clearly seen in the adjoining  photo,  one each side of the G#-Ab pad  -  on the left the screw enabling you to adjust the thumb-key and the B-flat key that they close together, and the one on the right  (most important of all) enabling you to co-ordinate the r.h. lst finger with the B-flat pad to give you B-flat using the first finger of each hand.


Add to this the finer quality of the sound and you have a considerable purchase to pursue at a low price.
