Frequently Asked Questions
The solid wood construction provides a significantly richer and more resonant tone with more sustain, noticeable especially in lower registers, compared to models with laminate back and sides.
The natural shellac finish is quite delicate and will need occasional polishing to maintain its luster and protect it from moisture and oils.
Cedro offers a softer, more flexible feel than mahogany or maple, leading to a quicker response and a slightly warmer, more nuanced tone, though it might require a bit more care to avoid warping.
