Frequently Asked Questions
The 52AF is a bit more restrained than the 61AF – less overt brilliance, more focused on warmth and sustain. Both are excellent, but the 61AF has a more complex, nuanced voice.
It's a modern 'C' – not overly chunky, but with enough substance for a secure grip. The 1mm variance is subtle, making it quite versatile for different hand sizes and playing styles.
Matte finishes do show fingerprints more readily, but a soft cloth typically cleans them easily. The finish is durable, but avoid harsh chemicals for longevity.
