Frequently Asked Questions

It's a well-integrated system, leaning towards a natural acoustic tone rather than a heavily processed sound, which is a big plus for classical players.
The African mahogany neck has a fairly standard classical profile; it's slimmer than many steel-string necks, but should feel manageable with a little adjustment.
Like all solid wood instruments, it requires consistent humidity, ideally between 45-55%, to prevent cracking or movement; a case humidifier is highly recommended.
