Frequently Asked Questions

B-25 generally offers a richer, more complex tone than B8, with more overtones and a warmer character, but it’s slightly less durable.
While it’s versatile, the thin nature means it won't cut through loud, aggressive styles; it’s better suited for gentler applications to avoid damage.
The hand-hammering creates a clear, defined stick sound with a subtle shimmer; it’s not a dry, trashy sound but a musical, responsive response.
