Frequently Asked Questions
The solid construction and spruce top handle the low B exceptionally well, maintaining clarity and avoiding muddiness often found on lesser instruments.
The flamed maple exhibits a lovely, consistent figure – not overly dramatic, but visually appealing and indicative of quality maple selection.
While single machine heads require a slightly more delicate touch, the build quality and Thomastik Belcanto strings contribute to surprisingly good tuning stability, but frequent adjustments may be needed.
