Frequently Asked Questions

The spirit-based varnish is fairly resilient, but still benefits from careful handling and occasional cleaning to maintain its finish.
The Gewa Ideale generally offers a richer, more complex tone than many competitors, thanks to the quality of the European tonewoods and hand-varnishing process.
They are genuine ebony, though as with any instrument at this price, the grade of ebony isn't premium – expect some minor grain variations and potential for slight imperfections.
