It does a lot of things very well. It’s very light and can be bright even on really soft passages. On the other hand, when playing loud, it projects very well.

I've really enjoyed trying and playing their mutes. The Saga 1 and 2 are in my current rotation, great response and intonation, and more complex tonal colors than other 3D printed mutes I've used.
