Frequently Asked Questions

It contributes to a warmer tone than a fresh varnish, but it's a cosmetic enhancement as much as a sonic one – don’t expect it to mimic true aging.
It’s well-suited for intermediate to advanced players who are committed to Baroque performance and appreciate German craftsmanship.
