| Hmmm, A customs are usually brilliant finish, but a few of them are traditional. Brilliant finished cymbals are usually brighter in tone. The regular A line are mostly traditional finish, therefore darker in tone. I also think that they use a slightly different finishing method. Both have the lines showing form the lathe, but the Reg. A's have deeper groves than the A customs. I dont know what affect this has on sound but you can usually tell the difference between an A and an A custom. If anybody knows anything about cymbal lathing and hammering enlighten me. Its an interesting field. |
