Frequently Asked Questions

It's a refinement – slightly heavier for more projection and a more defined attack, while retaining the core trashy character of the originals.
Despite the name, the hammering process and B20 bronze composition keeps the brilliance in check; it's more about sparkle than outright brightness.
I'd suggest trying nylon tips or lighter wood tips to really bring out the trashy qualities and avoid harshness.
