Frequently Asked Questions
Nussbaum toms feature hand-selected maple and integrated reinforcement rings for a more open, resonant tone, a refined bearing edge, and a unique aesthetic.
The T.A.R. mount is proprietary to Sonor, so it won’t directly interface with hardware from other manufacturers; you’ll need Sonor-specific arms and stands.
Matte finishes are more prone to stick marks than gloss finishes, but Sonor’s satin semi-gloss lacquer is relatively forgiving – regular wiping with a soft cloth will keep it looking its best.
