Frequently Asked Questions

The Light Ride is noticeably thinner and has a more shimmering, washier quality, while the Dark Ride is heavier and has a more focused, dry tone.
It’s a hand-hammered traditional finish, so it will have slight variations and a subtle, aged patina, not a mirror-like sheen.
While it’s dark, the stick definition is surprisingly good; however, it’s best suited for rock with a more nuanced, atmospheric feel, rather than full-on, aggressive rock.
