Frequently Asked Questions

HVX increases shell density, leading to a tighter, more focused tone with improved projection and a more controlled overtone series.
Yes, the STM system is a key feature – it minimizes dampening from the mounting hardware, allowing the shells to vibrate more freely and sound richer.
The lacquer finish is durable, but it's still susceptible to scratches and chips, so careful handling and proper maintenance are essential to keep it looking its best.
