Frequently Asked Questions
The pickup system offers a cleaner, more consistent amplified tone than a mic, but it lacks the nuanced warmth and depth of a high-quality classical mic.
The rounded C profile is generally comfortable, but those with exceptionally large hands might find the 48mm nut width a bit snug.
Lyrachord is designed for durability and stability, but it won't vibrate as freely as all-solid wood, resulting in a slightly less resonant acoustic tone.
