Frequently Asked Questions
The Samatya series is generally brighter and more modern sounding than the Traditionals, which tend to have a warmer, more vintage character.
The brilliant finish is beautiful, but it’s prone to showing handling marks; regular polishing will keep it looking pristine, but it's not a deal-breaker.
While versatile, its brightness might be a bit much for a very subtle, acoustic folk sound; it’s better suited for styles needing more presence.
