Frequently Asked Questions
Okoume generally has a warmer, more mellow tone than Koa, lacking some of Koa's brighter, more focused character. It’s a more ‘gentle’ sounding instrument.
The fret wire is a standard profile, not particularly low, but the walnut fretboard is smooth and should be manageable for beginners. A little finger strengthening will still be needed.
The matte finish is visually appealing, but it's softer than a gloss finish and will show fingerprints and minor scratches more readily. Careful handling and occasional cleaning are recommended.
