Frequently Asked Questions
While quieter than a standard china, it's not *silent*; it's more akin to a heavily damped crash, significantly reducing volume but retaining some resonance.
Yes, the nickel will develop a patina over time, but it won't be as visually dramatic as bronze's oxidation.
It's usable for recording in very controlled, low-volume situations, but its limited dynamic range makes it less versatile than a higher-quality china for professional tracking.
