Frequently Asked Questions

Olive ash tends to be drier and warmer than maple, with less sustain and a more focused mid-range. Maple is generally brighter and more versatile.
While versatile, the 30/45 degree edges might not provide the aggressive attack some heavier hitters require; consider aftermarket edges if you need maximum rimshot impact.
The natural finish is more porous than lacquered finishes, so regular cleaning and occasional oiling with a wood conditioner will help protect it from drying and cracking.
