Frequently Asked Questions

The Catalina Club has a warmer, more mellow tone than the Renown, which is typically brighter and more aggressive due to different shell construction and wood combinations.
They're 1.6mm hoops – a standard thickness that contributes to a balanced response and avoids excessive overtones.
The matte lacquer finish is reasonably durable, but it's best to avoid excessive handling and protect it from harsh cleaning chemicals to maintain its appearance.
