Frequently Asked Questions
The catalpa back and sides won't have the same rich, complex overtones as rosewood, but it's a respectable substitute for a student instrument.
While the fretwork is generally decent for this price range, some players may find minor sharp edges needing a light filing.
It's suitable for older students with smaller hands or those who prefer a more compact instrument, but its primary target is younger learners.
