Frequently Asked Questions
The I Family lacks the shimmering overtones and nuanced complexity of the A series, offering a more direct, less wash-like splash.
Due to its paper-thin construction, it's best suited for moderate playing; aggressive hitting significantly increases the risk of damage.
It works well in genres like pop, rock, and funk where a bright, cutting splash is desired, but it may feel limiting in jazz or orchestral settings.
