Frequently Asked Questions
The black nickel is slightly softer than chrome, so it's more susceptible to minor scratches, but it's still quite durable with proper care.
It's a single-ply brass shell, which contributes to its sensitivity and warm tone. This makes it ideal for nuanced playing.
The Universal Brass Chrom sits between those models; it's brighter than the Classic Maple but not as aggressively bright as the Hollywood Classic, offering a balanced, versatile tone.
