What’s so special about about Titanium?
Titanium is an element in the Periodic Table.
It is as stong as steel, but 45% lighter. It is used in alloys for many applications where performance and strength are more important than cost.
Its corrosion resistance and stability makes it suitable for surgical implants.
For music purposes, its micro-crystaline structure is highly efficient in transferring vibration. This permits the string vibrations to be transferred to the soundboard with the least dampening and coloration by the guitar’s hardware.
TiSonix uses premium titanium materials and machines them from billet form (not cast) to preserve the greatest material properties.
We welcome your questions and comments about Titanium and how TiSonix manufactures its parts.
I see lots of bridge pins made of ivory or ebony and they advertise that these ‘natural’ materials are supposed to sound better than the plastic pins that are supplied in most guitars.
What makes titanium sound better?
If Titanium is so much better, how come it hasn’t been done before?
