Frequently Asked Questions
Thermo-oak tends to be warmer and more focused than rosewood, lacking some of the overt complexity. It's a very even sounding wood, offering a balanced tone across the spectrum.
The D-1mm profile is generally comfortable, but the 50mm nut width will require some adjustment for players used to narrower necks. It’s a standard profile for Hanika, offering a good balance of stability and playability.
The open-pore finish allows the wood to breathe, enhancing resonance, but it does require more diligent humidity control. Regular cleaning and occasional oiling are recommended to protect the wood and maintain its finish.
