The maple shells are naturally warm and responsive; they typically require minimal damping, though adjustments depend on your playing style and desired sound.
The AQ2 series prioritizes affordability and accessibility; higher-end Sonor kits often feature thicker shells, more complex bracing, and premium hardware finishes.
