Frequently Asked Questions
The PST7 is a more affordable line, sacrificing some complexity and refinement for increased consistency and durability – think of it as a great value, not a high-end experience.
While it can handle moderate volume, its thinness makes it vulnerable to damage; it’s best suited for low to medium volume applications to preserve its lifespan.
The traditional look refers to the brushed/lathed finish, which mimics the appearance of older, played-in cymbals rather than a bright, shiny new finish.
