Frequently Asked Questions

B25 offers more complexity and shimmering overtones, but it's generally a bit less durable than B8 – handle with care.
While versatile, its brighter character may get lost in heavier mixes; a darker, heavier ride might be a better choice for your style.
No, the decay is musical and controlled, adding fullness without sacrificing articulation; it's a wash, not a washboard.
