Frequently Asked Questions

The Multibender adds a unique, expressive vibrato effect, but requires practice to master and can subtly alter the fundamental tone.
Like all mahogany instruments, it's susceptible to humidity changes, so consistent temperature and humidity control are important for longevity.
