Designed with many of the same tonal traits as the model 305, the 405 is balanced more towards reserve & integrity vs. easy response. Optimal for a more demanding musician.
Excellent workmanship. The varnish we use on our model 405 instruments emulates the exceptional varnishes from a century ago where a small number of master workshops in Markneukirchen, Germany distinguished themselves by developing some of the best varnishes of the modern era.
