Frequently Asked Questions

The shape alters the internal resonance, generally resulting in a slightly darker, more focused tone with a bit more warmth and sustain.
Thomastik Belcanto strings are factory-fitted, but easily replaceable; they're a great choice, but feel free to experiment with your preferred strings.
Keep it away from extreme temperature and humidity changes, and avoid harsh cleaning chemicals; a soft cloth is best for regular dusting.
