Frequently Asked Questions
SSC+ utilizes DW’s thinner, more refined shell construction process, resulting in a slightly more open and resonant tone compared to standard SSC.
While visually striking, the Ruby Glass finish is delicate and requires extra care to avoid scratches or chipping; a protective pad is recommended.
The STM system’s low-mass design minimizes interference with the shell’s natural vibrations, allowing for greater resonance and sustain.
