Frequently Asked Questions

Steel offers a drier, more focused tone than brass, lacking the warmth and overtones. It’s more about cutting through and delivering a powerful crack.
No, they're designed to relieve some of the shell’s internal pressure, enhancing projection and adding a touch of breathiness to the overall tone.
You'll get a good range, from a relatively low, resonant crack to a higher, tighter tone, although the shell’s density will limit how low you can realistically go.
