In this paper we review recently established results on the asymptotic behaviour of the trigonometric product Pn(α) = ∏r=1n |2sin πr α| as n→ ∞. We focus on irrationals α whose continued fraction coefficients are bounded. Our main goal is to illustrate that when discussing the regularity of Pn(α), not only the boundedness of the coefficients plays a role; also their size, as well as the structure of the continued fraction expansion of α, is important.
