new tangent style

8/23/2026

0 Comments

 
As we celebrate our 11th generation of instruments, we have a new tangent design!  Our custom design is a hybrid of metal tangents & the old wood tangents, and are made using composite materials (additive manufacturing). 
Like metal tangents, you can adjust along two axes (both side to side, and up & down), but more with the ease of wooden tangents.  They're really the best of all worlds! 

And as a result of the lower manufacturing time involved,  we are now including a full set of drone capos as a standard part of all our models! We've been playtesting them for the past year, and are so pleased with the sound and action, they are now a standard part of our production instruments.
