My only problem with this beater is that the title is a bit misleading for people new to triangle-related terminology - I assumed "medium" and "general purpose" meant it was a good all-around beater. The beater is rather heavy and thick, and if playing normally, it's hard to play below what I would consider a forte - it cuts through. Amazing tone, but very loud. However, I've found that hitting the triangle with the part of the beater right where the head starts to taper allows for a much more controlled sound, and keeps the tone quality good. 4 stars - it sounds great once you get used to it, which is all that really matters.
