Frequently Asked Questions

Birch sits between maple's brightness and mahogany's darkness, offering a more balanced and focused tone – a good all-around choice.
The SBF1816 legs are reliable and well-built, but very aggressive playing might benefit from aftermarket upgrades for maximum stability.
Like any lacquer finish, it's best to handle with care; a good quality stick and proper storage will minimize the risk of chipping.
