Quality Declaration:

A-Grade classified product units should not have visible scratches or noticeable marks when assembled. Internal defects and marks (including hook marks) that are not visible when assembled are not considered B-Grade units.

Screw holes are not fully anodized or coated and may have small marks near the hole opening. We strive to use real photos to represent the keyboard product as accurately as possible; however, we occasionally use renders to supplement these photos. These renders may differ slightly from the final product. The final product's colors may vary due to the renders being made under idealized artificial lighting. Raw or lightly coated brass naturally oxidizes and develops a patina. Small stains and color changes may occur.
