Frequently Asked Questions

While versatile, the warm character and fast decay make it better suited for mid-level dynamics; it won't cut through extremely heavy, aggressive music as effectively as a brighter splash.
Yes, the traditional finish is more porous and benefits from regular cleaning and occasional waxing to maintain its appearance and prevent oxidation.
