Frequently Asked Questions
Pure Alloy is brighter and more direct than B8, which has a rounder, warmer tone. It's a matter of preference, but Pure Alloy offers a more focused, cutting sound.
While it *can* be used, it's not ideal. Its shorter sustain and brighter tone might get lost in heavier, more distorted sounds; a larger or darker splash would be better suited.
The Traditional finish will darken slightly with play, mellowing the initial brightness a touch, but it won't dramatically change the core sound character like a heavier, more lacquered finish would.
