Frequently Asked Questions
B12 bronze is brighter and more focused than the warmer, more complex B20. Expect a cleaner, more direct sound with less overtones.
While they *can* be used indoors, their bright, powerful nature is best suited for outdoor marching environments. The sound might be overwhelming in a quieter concert setting.
Standard marching cymbal stands and clamping systems will work fine; the B12 bronze is durable enough to handle regular mounting and dismounting.
