Frequently Asked Questions

Birch tends to be punchier and more focused than maple, which is often described as warmer and more resonant. Birch offers a more direct low-end response.
The standard legs are perfectly adequate for most players, but a heavier hitter might consider upgrading to more robust hardware for added stability.
The high-gloss lacquer provides a decent level of protection, but it’s advisable to use a polish and occasional sealant to prevent finish wear.
