Frequently Asked Questions
Mahogany offers a darker, warmer tone with more low-end resonance than maple, which tends to be brighter and more articulate.
The natural finish is beautiful but requires care; a coat of protective lacquer is recommended to prevent cosmetic damage.
The 42-spiral strainer provides smooth, precise adjustment and is generally well-regarded for its quiet operation.
