Frequently Asked Questions
While it expands the tuning range, the fine tuner’s mechanism can slightly dampen the immediate response compared to traditional pedal adjustments, but it’s a trade-off for the tuning convenience.
Fibreglass is quite robust, but copper generally withstands more significant impacts. For frequent, demanding performances, consider a copper model for longevity.
The German position offers a slightly different angle for the player, which some find more ergonomic; it’s a fixed feature and not easily changed.
