Frequently Asked Questions
The engraving is purely cosmetic; it doesn't impact the sound or structural integrity of the instrument. It’s a surface detail and shouldn't cause any issues.
Open tuners require a little more care and attention to tuning than geared ones. Beginners might find them a bit tricky initially, but with practice, you'll get the hang of it.
