Congrats!
Suprised to see the label says Red Bronze..
Chinese use the same root word, tóng, for Brass, Bronze, and Copper, as they are all different colors of Copper or Copper Alloys.
Usually what we call Copper is what they call Red Copper, and what we call Brass they call Yellow Copper.. but I dont know why they labeled it Bronze.. Initially the Brass TS10 was called Copper.. so there is some confusion in translation..
notice these are all tóng:
copper: Tóng
red copper: Zǐtóng
bronze: Qīngtóng
red bronze: Hóng gǔtóngsè
brass: Huáng tóng
yellow copper: Huáng tóng
now my question is.. is the TS10 actually Pure Copper (I want to believe that), or is it an alloy w tin, aka bronze (I dont think so but needs confirmation).
Wow very interesting. Thanks for the info.
