Frequently Asked Questions
The Radia cup creates a more resonant and sustained shimmer, softening the directness of a typical chime and adding a complex harmonic layer.
While it projects well, its delicate nature isn’t ideal for heavily percussive playing; it shines best in gentler, more nuanced settings.
Regular cleaning with a soft cloth and avoiding harsh chemicals is crucial, plus careful storage to prevent physical impacts is key.
