MODEL NO.1 — IN THE HAND
A voice that responds the moment you touch it.
Light and immediate, it follows the player without resistance.
Whether fingerstyle or driven, it stays articulate and controlled.
A structured rim and refined internal architecture
allow the soundboard to move more freely—
keeping energy in the top, where it produces sound,
rather than being lost to the body.
A lighter top,
held with intention.
