Frequently Asked Questions

Xist is a harder alloy, leading to a brighter, more focused sound and generally increased durability for the rigors of marching, but it lacks the complex overtones of B20.
While they can be used indoors, their brightness might require careful dampening or mic placement to avoid being overwhelming in a smaller, more intimate setting.
The brilliant finish is more susceptible to minor cosmetic marks, but the underlying construction is robust; proper care and handling will minimize the risk of cracks or major chipping.
