Lithe Premium II uses 2 kinds of carefully selected leather. By devising new techniques of assembling, we were successful in making it fit the body better and decreasing the stress to the body caused by the weight of the instrument to a minimum.
Front Side Leather
The best quality Italian tanned leather made by the traditional Vachetta method. This leather is known for both its elasticity and distinctive smoothness. The Vachetta method is a traditional Italian method of leather making that takes labor and time, in which the rawhide is vegetable-tanned and slowly oiled. Succeeded by only a few leather dressers in Florence.
Backside Leather
Leather used for clothing that is soft and gentle against the skin.
