Frequently Asked Questions
It's a step down in terms of overall complexity and sustain, but the core birch tone is still present. Expect a slightly more controlled and less 'open' sound than the ProLite or Performance series.
Satin finishes are inherently softer than gloss, so it will show stick marks more readily. Regular cleaning and careful handling will help preserve the appearance.
It refers to the gluing process; the shell is assembled under tension, reducing internal stress and theoretically improving resonance and tuning stability over time.
