It has ten cylinder-cup keys mounted in posts with rods, with flat steel springs attached to keys. The low C and C-sharp keys have adjacent touches. The head is lined with metal, as well as the socket/tenon joint with the barrel, and has a wooden cap with cork stopper, and an oval embouchure hole. The tenons are wrapped in cork.
