Frequently Asked Questions

The slightly higher pitch of A=443 results in a brighter, warmer tone, often perceived as more ‘present’ and resonant, particularly in larger acoustic spaces.
The frame is height-adjustable, but each tube's height is fixed relative to the others, maintaining the intended scale and intervals.
The included mallets are typically a medium-hardness felt, designed for a balanced tone, but more specialized mallets (waffle, rubber) would broaden the tonal palette.
