Frequently Asked Questions

Cherry offers a softer, warmer tone than maple's brighter, more percussive sound – think less 'crack' and more 'thud'.
While primarily designed for orchestral use, it can certainly add a unique, subtle texture to folk or world music, but won't be as punchy as other wood blocks.
Cherry is a reasonably durable hardwood, but avoid extreme humidity or temperature changes to prevent cracking and maintain consistent tone.
