Frequently Asked Questions

The 2002 is a more affordable option, offering a bright, consistent tone, while the Signature has a more complex, nuanced voicing and a darker overall character.
Absolutely! The clear pitch and responsive nature make it easy to control and experiment with, but a little EQ knowledge helps maximize its potential.
While sticks are the primary method, soft mallets can produce a more ethereal, dampened sound – experiment to find your preferred texture.
