Frequently Asked Questions

Royal blackwood tends to be darker and more focused than rosewood, offering a more restrained, nuanced tone with less overt sustain.
Oil and wax finishes are inherently softer than gloss finishes, so it's more susceptible to minor scratches and requires occasional cleaning and conditioning to maintain its luster.
Royal blackwood is relatively stable but still requires consistent humidity to prevent cracking or movement; a case humidifier is recommended for optimal performance.
