Frequently Asked Questions
Bartolini’s MK-1 preamp delivers a very clean and focused sound, lacking the overly aggressive character some other active systems possess, which makes it versatile.
Yes, the open-pore finish requires occasional oiling to maintain its beauty and protect the wood, but it’s a small price for the enhanced tone and feel.
Panga Panga is harder and denser than rosewood, offering a smoother, glassier feel but a different aesthetic; it can take some getting used to if you’re unfamiliar.
