Depending on a client's requirements, we will recommend one of a number of different finishing systems.

1. Oil/Shellac/Wax - a medium lustre finish which is warm and rich, and offers moderate protection to the drum
2. Lacquer - we use a state of the art UV Cure spray system to apply a tough and beautiful satin or high gloss lacquer finish
3. French Polish - the luthiers traditional high gloss finish. Unmatched in clarity and acoustical transparency. Expensive.

decide on color or level of sheen.
