Frequently Asked Questions
It's a minor inconvenience, but the difference is noticeable. You'll likely need to transpose parts or adjust your playing to compensate.
The frame is designed for portability, but it's still bulky and heavy, requiring at least two people for safe handling and transport.
The included mallets are fine for basic orchestral repertoire, but for more nuanced or percussive styles, experimenting with different mallet types will greatly expand the tonal possibilities.
