Frequently Asked Questions
Mapa burl adds a subtle warmth and complexity, enhancing sustain and offering a slightly more 'woody' character than typical maple.
Yes, the high gloss finish requires careful handling and cleaning to avoid scratches or blemishes; a protective coating is recommended for gigging.
The shallower depth provides a more focused, higher-pitched tone with quicker response; it lacks the deep, resonant thump of an 8-inch snare.
