What is Differential Taxation?

Differential Taxation – What It Means for You

When you see a product marked as “differential taxation”, it simply means that  no VAT is added on top of the price.

What is Elforyn?

Elforyn frog, a raw material with the same physical properties and sound as mammoth or ivory, has been used for frogs/screws and other instrument parts for over 200 years. 
The advantages are obvious: no animal was harmed, and the material is stable, does not crack and is stable in colour and shape.
