Can i get in on a Soprano?
Is there an advantage of the Flax soundboard over the all-carbon instruments?
Are the two materials the same for expansion & contraction with temperature changes?
When will you be accepting orders?
Will you be taking deposits for early ordering?
I am looking forward to hearing the soprano sample. These may find a nice niche in the market.
But I am very puzzled by the release of three different materials. How does one decide for the small incremental price changes between the three?
It implies that the Flax/eKoa is the best of the three since it is the costliest. So why buy an eKoa/carbon one instead of an all eKoa for a little more money or an all carbon one for less money? Why pour development into the three instead of focusing on one? The carbon logically competes with a Klos and the eKoa with a Blackbird, but how does the eKoa compare with a Klos? Does one wait for a sound sample of the three different materials in a single size before purchasing?
Kind of confusing...
We are hoping to make a sound sample video just like you describe in the next couple of weeks. Will update everyone on the timeline once it is set in stone.
As for the flax/Ekoa It is a material you can buy just like carbon fiber, Ekoa is simply the trade name of The flax material made by Blackbirds sister company.
And thank you, we really want to get carbon fiber/flax instruments in the hands of more people!
Thanks,
