Frequently Asked Questions

Plastic is more hygienic and easier to clean, but wood generally offers a warmer tone and better breath feel – this is a trade-off for the price.
It's designed for occasional use, so consistent playing will likely shorten its lifespan, especially with potential comb swelling from moisture.
