Frequently Asked Questions
The Antique finish, achieved through a special aging process, subtly dampens the higher frequencies, resulting in a slightly warmer and more vintage-like tone.
While wooden combs offer a traditional feel, the plastic comb’s stability prevents tuning issues and makes it easier to clean and maintain – a practical advantage for many players.
The Session Antique E has a noticeably mellower tone than the Special 20, which is brighter and more responsive; both are excellent choices, but cater to different tonal preferences.
