Frequently Asked Questions
The walnut adds a warmth and complexity missing in purely birch models, softening the attack slightly while enriching the lower frequencies. It’s a more ‘vintage’ feel, while the birch maintains clarity.
The high-gloss lacquer finish is durable but not entirely scratch-proof; careful handling and occasional polishing are recommended to maintain its appearance.
Absolutely. While it's not aggressively bright, the 6mm shell and birch component provide ample projection and a focused attack to be heard clearly in a loud setting.
