Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, the wire tension is adjustable. With the 20-strand brass wires, expect a crisp, cutting sound, but adjusting the tension can soften it considerably.
Absolutely, it's a great learning tool. The smaller size makes it easier to control, and the focused sound helps develop a sense of precision.
