This is my opinion, The difference that I've seen and heard is "Real Glass" has taken the name Crystal. Now the word "Glass" is a form of Plexy Glass. Your right on the Strikers. Different strikers will give a call a different sound, some work better on one surface, over another surface. On the most part each striker is a different sounding Hen. I'm interested in the others opinions aswell on the Crystal and Glass question...BT

I like them with Long Sharp Spurs....
