Frequently Asked Questions
The Traditional series is slightly heavier and offers a more cutting, vintage sound; these are more refined and controlled, with a smoother wash.
While versatile, their subtle nature makes them less ideal for aggressive rock or pop styles; they’ll work, but won't have the same impact.
B12 bronze offers a richer, more complex tone with greater harmonic overtones compared to the more common B8 bronze – it’s a higher-quality alloy.
