Frequently Asked Questions

The walnut adds a darker, warmer undertone and a touch more sustain compared to purely maple, providing a more complex and mature sonic character.
Yes, the 90° Design Lab Floortom Legs are robust and well-engineered to handle the weight; however, quality, heavy-duty stands are still recommended.
While the high-gloss lacquer is durable, it *is* susceptible to scratches and chipping; careful handling and a quality gig bag are essential for preservation.
