Tout d'abord, le barrage est inspiré des belles années d'avant guerre avec des barres allégées et remontées vers l'ouie afin de laisser la partie vibrante de la table la plus libre possible. La finition est le style 18 classique. La nouveauté de ce modèle est le profil du manche qui reprend les caractéristiques de celui de la série des Performing Artist.
