MODEL NO.1 — IN THE HAND
A voice that responds the moment you touch it.
Light, immediate, and balanced — voiced by hand at the bench to follow the player, not resist them.
Built with a structured rim and a responsive, lightly built top, it delivers clarity, separation, and dynamic headroom across the full register.
Whether fingerstyle or driven, it reveals nuance without effort.
A structured rim and refined internal architecture allow the soundboard to move more freely - increasing responsiveness, projection and clarity without adding weight.
A lighter top,
held with intention.
MODEL NO.1 — STRUCTURE
MODEL NO.1 — VOICE
Clear. Balanced. Effortless.
Built for clarity across the full register — with separation between voices and a controlled low end that doesn’t overpower the note.
It responds quickly, with a light touch, and holds together as you lean into it.
Nothing exaggerated. Nothing missing.
A voice that stays honest to the player.
