• NITRIDED STEEL - High-end
• Nitrided steel is what the original sound sculptures, invented around the year 2000 in Switzerland, were made of. It provides a very unique and robust feel to the steel. In short, the nitriding process hardens regular steel by diffusing nitrogen molecules into its structure.
• Nitrided steel also has rust resistant properties, though without proper care it can still rust.
• The high hardness and increased tensile strength of nitrided steel lends itself well to percussive playing, and those with heavy handed playing styles.
• The advantage of timbre is added during the nitriding heating process, which makes the steel harder and maintains long-term tone.
• When nitriding heating is added during the production process, the sound will be warmer, the sound will be more stable and full, and the tail sound will be clean.
