Frequently Asked Questions

The K Constantinople ML offers a significantly darker, more complex tone and greater dynamic range compared to the K Custom Orchestral, justifying the higher price point.
Like all hand-hammered cymbals, they require careful handling and proper storage to prevent cracks or unwanted marks, but are robustly built.
Softer felt mallets or a lighter-tipped orchestral stick are best to preserve the delicate sound and prevent excessive volume.
