Frequently Asked Questions

The Gewa generally offers a more refined aesthetic and a slightly warmer tone than many similarly priced Yamahas, but a Stentor might feel a bit more robust for a beginner’s instrument.
The hand-applied varnish is relatively delicate and should be wiped down regularly; it's not as durable as a modern, heavily lacquered finish.
Gewas generally have very good build quality for their price point; the seams are well-sealed, and the graduation is consistent, though a luthier's inspection is always a good idea.
