Frequently Asked Questions

The ABS body produces a brighter, less complex tone than grenadilla wood; it lacks some of the 'warmth' but is still quite pleasant and consistent.
While durable, the Prodige's mechanism is best suited for student/intermediate use; frequent, demanding gigging might accelerate wear on the key pads.
Yes, the stock mouthpiece is a starting point; a better mouthpiece will unlock more tonal possibilities and improve overall response.
