Frequently Asked Questions

The silver bars offer a warmer, more complex resonance, but lack the extreme sustain of carbon fiber – a trade-off for a more traditional vibe.
The motor is generally quiet, but at lower speeds, a slight hum might be audible; using a high-quality preamp can mitigate this.
Regular cleaning with a specialized silver polish is recommended to prevent tarnish and maintain optimal tone and appearance.
