Frequently Asked Questions

It’s a subtle difference, but important for ensembles aiming for Baroque or early Classical repertoire where A=443Hz was more common. Modern orchestras typically tune to A=440Hz.
Swartzia offers a warmer, more mellow tone than maple or synthetic materials, but lacks the extreme projection of padauk. It’s a good balance for orchestral settings.
The build quality is very respectable. You can expect a stable, well-constructed frame and carefully tuned bars – it’s a good value for the money.
