Frequently Asked Questions
The bell bronze construction gives it a warmer, more rounded tone compared to some brass resonators, offering a unique sweetness and sustain.
The ivoroid neck binding primarily enhances aesthetics but also provides a small amount of protection for the neck’s edges against wear and tear.
Players with larger hands or those who prefer a more open feel between strings will likely find the 46mm nut width comfortable and beneficial.
