Frequently Asked Questions

Finish Ply layering creates a tighter, more focused shell, resulting in a more controlled and slightly drier tone than a purely maple shell.
Absolutely; the M.A.G. strainer is renowned for its almost silent operation, making tuning adjustments on stage a breeze.
VLT maple is relatively hard, but the finish is still susceptible to scratches, so careful handling and occasional polishing with a quality drum care product is recommended.
