Frequently Asked Questions
The 00017 is slightly more restrained, with a warmer, rounder tone due to the all-solid mahogany back and sides; the 28 has a brighter, more complex voice from the rosewood back and sides.
The Modified Low Oval is generally considered accommodating, but individual preferences vary; it's slimmer than a vintage Martin, so it should work well for most hand sizes.
Martin uses a relatively thin, gloss finish which allows the wood to breathe and resonate; it doesn’t significantly dampen the natural acoustic properties of the solid woods.
