Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, the neck is secured with iron nails, a traditional baroque construction method—it’s not a modern glued joint.
It's noticeably warmer and less brilliant, with a more immediate response, lacking the projection of a modern setup.
It’s ideal for experienced players familiar with baroque setup and gut strings, or those specifically seeking that historical tone.
