Rosewood is denser than walnut or lacewood, and that density translates into longer sustain and a warmer overall character. Three nylon strings tuned A, E, E deliver the percussive shimmer that defines the Prima voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"rb-callout\"\u003e\n      \u003cstrong\u003eAbout rosewood:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosewood is one of the most prized tonewoods in stringed instrument making.

The bowl has a single, refined character that matches the rosewood pancer below the soundboard. Larger position markers on the fretboard make navigating the upper registers easier, particularly under stage lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe pancer on the Deluxe model is secured by screws along the edges, a meaningful upgrade over standard glue-only construction.
