Frequently Asked Questions
The PST7 is a more affordable, entry-level option; Signature and Twenty offer more complex overtones and a higher-end feel but at a premium price.
It’s certainly loud enough, but it won’t project as powerfully as a heavier, larger China. It's best suited for medium-sized venues.
While it excels at explosive accents, you can definitely control it for quieter passages by dampening or playing closer to the edge – it’s more versatile than it initially appears.
