Frequently Asked Questions

Sassafras offers a warmer, more complex tone with a distinct character; it’s less focused than Birch, but more resonant and nuanced than Maple, possessing a unique vintage vibe.
The satin finish is beautiful, but it's more susceptible to stick marks and fingerprints than a glossier finish; regular cleaning and care are recommended.
The solid shell construction and flanged hoops allow for a surprisingly wide tuning range, from very low, resonant tones to tight, cracky sounds, offering great versatility.
