Frequently Asked Questions
Maple offers a warmer, more resonant tone with more overtones than birch, which tends to be brighter and more focused.
The Cylinder Drive is significantly quieter than older designs, but very fast stick work might still produce some minor rattle – it’s generally excellent though.
The white finish shows marks easily, so regular cleaning and occasional polishing is recommended to keep it looking its best.
