Frequently Asked Questions
The Constantinople is drier and more focused, with less overall wash and a more defined stick sound than the darker, more ambient K Custom Dark.
The hammering is intentionally uneven, creating subtle tonal variations and a more organic, hand-crafted feel – it's not a uniform pattern.
While capable, its dry character and articulate stick sound are better suited for more nuanced musical styles; it won't cut through a heavily distorted wall of sound.
