Frequently asked

What's the difference between the three weights?

33g (40g bottom-out) is feathery for speed; 42g (50g bottom-out) is the balanced all-rounder; 52g (63.5g bottom-out) is firm for typists who want resistance. Same smooth UPE feel across all three.

Are they smooth out of the box?

Yes. The UPE stem and factory lube make them slick from the bag — no tuning required for a clean, scratch-free slide.

What do they sound like?

A balanced, slightly deep note. The PA12/PA66 nylon housings keep things rounded rather than sharp, landing in medium-thocky territory.
