❓ FAQ
ABS / wood?
ABS = start (won't crack). Wood = after 2–4 years (tone!). Switch when teacher says.
R13 / RC?
R13 = brighter (America). RC = warmer (Europe). Both legends! Try both.
Wood cracks?
Can! Gradual warm-up. Bore oil. No extreme cold. First 6 months careful!
Boehm / German?
Boehm = standard (France, America, Asia, Ukraine). German = Austria/Germany.
