Frequently Asked Questions
Walnut offers a darker, more complex tone with a more prominent fundamental. Maple tends to be brighter and more focused, so it’s a matter of personal preference.
The gloss finish is fairly durable, but it’s best to wipe it down regularly to prevent buildup and avoid scratching. A protective coat of polish can help extend its lifespan.
You'll get a really nice balance of warmth and attack. It responds well to a variety of stick types, from traditional wood to more modern hybrid tips.
