Frequently Asked Questions

CLTF eliminates internal stresses, resulting in a more even response across the shell and a more controlled, resonant tone – less overtones and a tighter feel.
The shells are relatively dry out of the box due to the dense beech construction; however, some players may prefer to add minimal dampening for a more personalized sound.
The hardware is robust and reliable, but it’s a step below Sonor’s top-tier offerings; it’s still excellent quality, but lacks some of the premium detailing.
