Frequently Asked Questions
The walnut back and sides give it a darker, rounder tone, lacking the bright, airy quality of Spanish cedar; it's more focused and even.
Smoked oak is durable, but it will darken with age and use, unlike ebony which tends to stay black; it's a cosmetic difference, not a functional one.
It's very well-regarded; the craftsmanship is excellent, on par with other established German luthiers in this price bracket, offering superb value.
