Sonor · Models
Founded by Johannes Link in Weissenfels and rebuilt at Bad Berleburg after the war, Sonor is the oldest drum company still making drums. Its reputation rests on dense, thin beech and maple shells and on hardware heavy enough to be a running joke among drummers who move their own gear. The SQ2 system lets a buyer specify shell timber, thickness, and bearing edge drum by drum.

Sonor Signature HLD 590
Percussion · Germany
The HLD 590 is a 14×8 ferromanganese-shelled snare from Sonor's Signature era, heavy enough to be almost unusable at low volume and the reason a generation of engineers asked for "the Sonor". Clean examples trade for multiples of their original price.
