Frequently Asked Questions

The hand-applied spirit varnish is beautiful but relatively soft; it's best to teach careful handling and consider a protective polish.
While the solid spruce top is excellent, the laminated back and sides mean it won't match the complexity of a fully solid instrument, but it's a significant step up from beginner-level plywood models.
Ebony pegs are generally good, but new pegs often need 'tightening' to prevent slipping; a luthier can easily adjust them if needed.
