Frequently Asked Questions
The Lyrachord offers a more focused, direct sound – less sustain and overtones than a traditional acoustic, but with enhanced projection.
The tuner is surprisingly accurate and convenient for quick tuning adjustments on stage; it's a genuinely useful feature.
The rounded C profile is a comfortable middle ground – not too thin, not too thick, and should be manageable for most hand sizes, though larger hands might prefer a slightly wider neck.
