Frequently Asked Questions
Murphy Lab instruments receive significantly more scrutiny and hand-finishing, resulting in tighter tolerances, superior aesthetics, and a more refined feel.
The aging process is primarily cosmetic, but the removal of finish mass can subtly enhance resonance and sustain, though the effect is minimal.
The absence of tubing allows for greater wood vibration, potentially improving sustain, and the design is known for its stability across varied climates.
