Harsh? Well pehaps it might seem so to many, but Bill and I are experienced and well seasoned listeners of old K's. As a consequence we've learned to become exquisitely adept at parsing even the finest tonal nuances in a given cymbal one from another. Both Bill and I suffer from a morbid acuteness of the senses, which in my case began at an early age. Even the slightest hint of dissonanace in any cymbal will cause me to up my nose to it and not even give it a 2nd listen. In fact I'm so exquisitely sensitive that I can, for example, tell you that the painting which hangs in my office as I write this to you now currently has a headache. I can actaully feel its pain.
Uhhhh...I'm speechless. Bowing
