Does anyone know the difference between the Zum Hybrid changer and the previous changer?

I believe it is a modified Push Pull,
vs standard all pull.
But others will likely be more precise.

I don't believe that it's mechanically all that different from the normal changer. I think it has to do with how the fingers contact the body directly. What I do know is that I like what it sounds like. To my ears, the hybrid introduces some upper overtones that remind me of a push/pull. Sweet and clear. I like it.

I believe it is still an all pull system, but some of the raises (?) have to be tuned similarly to a push pull --- but I could be mistaken.
