Frequently Asked Questions

The rosette allows for more even head seating, improving resonance and sustain – it’s a subtle but noticeable upgrade.
The White Pearl is a foiled finish, meaning it's opaque and has a consistent, vibrant sheen – no wood grain will show through.
It captures some of the Sonor warmth, but lacks the depth and complexity of their premium offerings due to the thinner shell construction.
