Frequently Asked Questions

The Pure Alloy blend softens the high frequencies, resulting in a more controlled and less piercing attack compared to a brighter B20 splash.
While it will darken slightly, the Pure Alloy blend doesn't patina as dramatically as traditional bronze, so expect a more subtle visual change.
Due to its warm and short sustain, it's better suited for genres that don't require a loud, cutting splash; it might get lost in a heavier mix.
