Adherence to Tradition - Attention to Technology

Advanced solid modeling and finite element analysis are employed to set the Popken Meritage apart from the typical empirical "trial & error" approaches.


Advanced mathematical and geometric design and computation have yielded superlative results.  Details such as the precision-machined magnesium alloy bridge combine to deliver greatly improved intonation, energy transfer and instrument longevity.
