* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The OC520 is a clever bit of kit for the traveling musician. The sound is surprisingly good for a smaller body, and the detachable neck is brilliantly executed. It's ideal for serious classical players who need a reliable, compact instrument for rehearsals, lessons, or performances on the road – a genuinely practical solution for a niche need.
