Frequently Asked Questions

The .512 is generally considered brighter and more focused than earlier van Lier designs, offering a more modern sound suitable for a wider range of genres.
While visually stunning, gold lacquer is softer than silver plate and requires regular polishing to prevent scratching and maintain its appearance. It's not inherently fragile, but mindful care is necessary.
The 13mm bore provides a more controlled response, which some players might find restrictive initially. However, it encourages precise articulation and a focused sound – a worthwhile adjustment for many.
