Frequently Asked Questions
The D-28 has a more aggressive, booming low end; the OM-21 is more focused and nuanced, with a more refined midrange.
Primarily cosmetic, but the tortoise material is a hard plastic that adds a minimal amount of protection without significantly altering the wood's resonance.
The OM-21 has a comfortable, low-profile 'Modified Low Oval' shape, similar to many modern Martins, but slightly slimmer than older vintage profiles.
