Named for the bird of paradise, the Apus was originally designed with Exotic Birds in mind. But it quickly proved useful far beyond that. The nylon material pulls a crisp, chirping tone out of the bars, making it ideal for any passage that needs character, clarity, or a little bit of bite. Bright, articulate, and weirdly satisfying to play.
