Frequently Asked Questions
The Brilliant series is noticeably brighter and more responsive than the Traditional, lacking some of the Traditional's warmth and sustain. It's a more focused, cutting sound.
It’s durable but requires care; the brilliant finish is more prone to showing marks than darker finishes, so regular polishing is recommended.
While it will cut through, its bright tone might get lost in heavier genres; a darker, more robust splash would likely be more suitable.
