Frequently Asked Questions

The natural finish lacks lathing, so it will tarnish faster and requires regular cleaning with a cymbal cleaner to maintain its appearance and prevent deep oxidation.
While versatile, the Xist Naturals' lighter weight and softer response aren’t ideal for extremely aggressive playing; they'll lack the cut and sustain needed for those genres.
The Xist Naturals offer a more refined and complex sound than many other natural cymbals, thanks to Istanbul Agop’s alloy blend and hammering techniques; they're less 'woody' and more musical.
