Frequently Asked Questions
The Agops generally have a slightly warmer, more complex tone than the Zildjian Ks, which tend to be brighter and more direct. It's a matter of personal preference and orchestral needs.
While the quality is high, the premium price might be prohibitive for a student orchestra on a tight budget. They’re a fantastic investment for a professional or advanced ensemble.
While thin for maximum responsiveness, they are surprisingly durable given their weight, especially if handled with care and proper playing technique. They’re not a crash cymbal, though.
