Frequently Asked Questions

The Elysia has a slightly richer and more mature tone than the Primrose, with a bit more projection, but the Primrose is generally brighter and more focused.
Shellac is softer than modern varnishes, so it's more susceptible to scratches. Regular gentle cleaning is recommended to maintain its appearance, but it's not a constant polishing job.
The neck profile is a fairly standard C-shape, comfortable for most hand sizes, though some players with smaller hands might find it a touch thick. It’s certainly playable and won't cause fatigue quickly.
