Frequently Asked Questions

The R1 leans towards a darker, more focused sound, while the Series III often has a brighter, more projecting character – it’s a matter of personal preference.
Absolutely. The hand-hammering creates a more even vibration across the body, contributing to a fuller, more responsive tone and improved intonation.
Regular polishing with a silver-specific cloth is crucial to prevent tarnish; storing it in a case with anti-tarnish strips is also highly recommended.
