Frequently Asked Questions

The strings are tuned in courses of two, essentially creating a wider, richer sound. It's not doubled strings in the traditional sense, but rather two strings tuned to the same pitch within each course.
Cedar is softer than mahogany, so humidity control is key; keep it around 45-55% humidity to prevent cracking. A good quality case and occasional oiling can also help protect the top.
The 8-string design adds significant depth and sustain. While both use Nylgut strings, the extra strings and larger soundboard volume give it a noticeably warmer and fuller tone – less ‘plink’ and more ‘bloom’.
