Frequently Asked Questions

Sassafras offers a warmer, more complex tone with a slightly more 'vintage' character than the brighter, more focused sounds of maple or birch.
Black nickel finishes can show wear more readily than chrome; regular polishing with a suitable metal cleaner will help maintain their appearance.
Store it in a stable environment, avoid excessive humidity, and keep the original packaging and accessories—this will help maintain its collectibility.
