Frequently Asked Questions
The untreated surface is more prone to tarnishing and requires regular cleaning with a cymbal cleaner to maintain its appearance and sound.
While durable, the darker, drier sound isn’t ideal for extremely loud or aggressive playing—they shine more in controlled, musical settings.
The Turks offer a more vintage, complex sound compared to the brighter, more modern tone of the A Customs; the Turks have a more focused stick attack.
