Frequently Asked Questions

The 2002 is a bit more focused and drier than the Signature series, which has a warmer, more complex shimmer. It’s a matter of personal preference, but the 2002 is often favored for its clarity.
While sticks are the primary intended method, soft felt mallets can produce interesting, muted tones. Just be aware that the chime’s resonance will be significantly dampened.
Absolutely! Playing a set of these, or layering them in a recording, can create a very lush and ethereal soundscape, adding considerable depth to your percussion.
