Frequently Asked Questions

It's an homage, not a perfect replica; expect a similar warmth and complexity, but lacking the subtle nuances of a centuries-old, truly antique instrument.
The finish is deliberately uneven to mimic age, which means slight variations in color and texture are inherent to the design and should be expected.
The included bow is functional and suitable for practice, but a higher-quality bow will significantly improve responsiveness and tone projection.
