Frequently Asked Questions
Thermo treatment essentially 'ages' the wood, resulting in a more open and resonant tone, often closer to a seasoned instrument – it’s noticeably clearer and projects well.
Roasted maple is incredibly stable, far less susceptible to humidity changes, and should offer excellent long-term playing consistency – it’s a real upgrade.
Pau Ferro adds warmth and complexity to the sound, balancing the brightness of the spruce top and providing a richer, more nuanced tonal palette.
