Sound: HH are dark, moody and complex. Heavily hand hammered, they’re very traditional, but still love to get dirty. HH Vanguard are truly exceptional and a great introduction to the HH family.
Notes: The Manhattan Jazz models were initially apart of the HH series before being moved to the HHX series. They came into production in 2000 and discontinued sometime in 2018/2019. Despite being moving series "they were both the same design" (per Sabian).
