Frequently Asked Questions

Okoume generally offers a warmer, more mellow tone than Sitka Spruce, with less pronounced highs. It's still responsive and dynamic, but lacks the 'sparkle' of spruce.
Pau Ferro is generally stable, but like any hardwood, it's wise to keep it properly humidified, especially in drier climates, to prevent cracking.
It’s a comfortable, fairly full C-shape, slightly flatter than a vintage C, making it easy to play for a wide range of hand sizes and playing styles.
