Frequently Asked Questions

The resin adds stiffness and dampens overtones, resulting in a more controlled and focused tone with improved projection – less 'ring' than a purely oak drum.
It's a thoughtful design; it effectively reduces unwanted vibrations and enhances the fundamental bass frequencies, making the low end more present and defined.
The UES finish is visually striking but relatively soft; regular cleaning and careful handling are needed to prevent scratches and maintain its appearance.
