Frequently Asked Questions
Not quite; it's wider than a standard acoustic, but slimmer than a typical classical neck, providing a more comfortable Django-style feel.
While it can be used for other genres, the tone is heavily biased towards the bright, focused sound needed for Manouche; it won't be as versatile as a more general acoustic.
Carvalho generally adheres to responsible sourcing practices, but it's always a good idea to inquire directly with the retailer about specific certifications or origins.
