Frequently Asked Questions
Katalox is dense and smooth, offering a fast feel similar to ebony, though it can be a bit harder on your fingers initially.
The AEQ2T tuner is generally accurate and straightforward, accessible via a button press – a definite convenience for quick tuning on stage.
Okoume provides a balanced tone with good projection, leaning towards a brighter character than mahogany, but with a warmth that prevents it from sounding harsh.
