Frequently Asked Questions
The Arcadia offers a noticeably more resonant tone and a more figured maple back compared to the Primrose, representing a step up in materials and craftsmanship.
It is genuine ebony, which is important for its smooth playing surface and tonal properties; lower-priced instruments often use substitute materials.
The craftsmanship is quite good; the seams are tight, the setup is reasonable, and the overall construction feels robust and well-considered.
