Frequently Asked Questions

The Finish Ply construction means the outer layer of maple is the finished veneer, offering a slightly more resonant and open tone than a fully wrapped shell, while retaining some of the aesthetic appeal.
While durable, the wrap finish can show minor imperfections more readily than a fully opaque finish. Careful handling and proper storage are recommended to preserve its appearance.
The Delta strainer is known for its exceptionally smooth action and reliable tension adjustment, making it a favorite among professionals for its precision and quiet operation.
