Professional Walnut Riq Light Alpaca cymbals #656

This is a really nice lightweight riq with a professional sound. I wasn't sure how the alpaca jingles would sound so I contacted customer service and they had a sound sample made and loaded within the same day. The sound sample above is accurate for how the riq sounds in person. Although it's not the flashiest one out there, it's still very nice-looking. I've been learning a different technique than I'm used to, and this riq has made it easier to practice the new techniques, which I can then apply to my heavier riq. Some may not like the look of the mixed metals, but I like them. It should be noted that when I first received the riq, there was an issue with one of the parts. I contacted customer service regarding the issue and they arranged for the manufacturer send me a replacement part. Because of this, I give five stars for quality and value. I'm always happy with the customer service at Arab Instruments and I'm confident referring my students here. Of all the vendors out there, they really seem to care about the happiness of their customers.
