Frequently Asked Questions
The Traditional finish will tarnish faster than Brilliant, requiring occasional cleaning, but this contributes to its warmer tone and vintage aesthetic.
While playable, the lighter weight and vintage character aren't ideal for aggressive, high-volume playing; it will lack the cut and projection needed.
