Frequently Asked Questions

The A Series is generally darker and more complex sounding, while this S Series is focused on a bright, direct shimmer. The S Series is also considerably thinner and more responsive.
While it can be used, its paper-thin construction makes it risky. It's best suited for quieter, more nuanced playing to avoid damage and maintain its intended tone.
The brilliant finish is highly polished for maximum shine and projection, whereas a natural finish would have a more matte appearance and slightly less sustain.
