Frequently Asked Questions
Heavy mallets produce the deep, sustained tones; smaller, felt-covered mallets bring out the higher, more delicate harmonics.
While Wuhan maintains quality control, slight variations in hammering and alloy composition are inevitable, potentially resulting in subtle differences in sustain and overtone complexity.
It *can* be used live, but its size and weight make handling challenging; it’s more impactful in controlled studio environments where its full sonic potential can be explored.
