Why this product
If you want more volume, a deeper fundamental and stronger room presence, the 45 cm model delivers. Comfortably held with two hands, or rested against the leg when seated. This size is no longer about portability – it is about sound.
Care tips
- Touch the skin before playing to feel its tension.
- Brief warming in cold or humid weather yields cleaner tone.
- Hold with both hands for stability.
- The larger body needs extra care in storage – on a stable shelf, away from vibration.
- A padded case is strongly recommended for transport.
