Independent shopping perspective
The 14 x 6.5 in. StaveCraft Makha starts with a 25 mm shell formed from two layers of solid Makha staves. Thai Oak is inserted into the DadoLoc channel between the staves, a construction Pearl says increases overall shell strength by 50%. Hand sealing, Swivel Tube Lugs, and MasterCast die-cast counter hoops complete the build. Expect sharp sonic focus with full-bodied volume, aimed at hard-hitting work and precise tuning.
