Frequently Asked Questions
Engelmann is generally more responsive and offers a warmer, more immediate tone compared to Sitka, which is often brighter and more projecting.
It's a moderately full 'C' profile, providing a comfortable feel without being overly thick or bulky – somewhere between a vintage and modern C.
Yew is a very hard and stable wood; the accents are exceptionally durable and require minimal maintenance beyond occasional cleaning with a soft cloth.
