Petrof P 210 Pasat

Grand piano

Piano · Czech Republic

The Petrof P 210 Pasat is a 210 cm (6'10") grand piano and Petrof's best-selling grand, popular at exhibitions and used from chamber salons to studios and homes. Built in Hradec Králové with a resonance spruce soundboard, a laminated birch outer rim with Ebony Makassar veneer, and a beech pin block, it is prized for a romantic, singing tone.

Sonor SQ2

Built-to-order German drum system

Drum kit · Germany

The SQ2 is less a kit than an order form: shell timber, thickness, bearing edge, hardware, and finish are chosen drum by drum, with maple, beech, birch, and American walnut all offered in more than one thickness. Every SQ2 is made in Bad Berleburg and takes months.

Petrof P 159 Bora

Grand piano

Piano · Czech Republic

The Petrof P 159 Bora is a 159 cm (5'2") grand piano, the most compact in Petrof's grand range and nicknamed 'the little big grand piano' for its rich, powerful sound. Built in Hradec Králové with a resonance spruce soundboard and a laminated beech-and-birch inner rim, it suits professional practice, the home, and smaller halls.

Sonor Vintage Series

Teardrop lugs and thin beech, reissued

Drum kit · Germany

The Vintage Series revives Sonor's 1950s and 1960s specification: thin German beech shells, rounded bearing edges, and the teardrop lug, in the small sizes those kits were actually built in.

Sonor Artist Series Snare

German-made snares in wood and metal

Percussion · Germany

The Artist Series is Sonor's à la carte snare catalogue: maple, beech, birch, and vintage-spec shells alongside bronze and brass, all built in Germany to the same hardware specification.

Sonor Phonic

The heavy beech kits of the 1970s and 1980s

Drum kit · Germany

Phonic is the Sonor most drummers picture: dense beech shells, chrome-heavy hardware, and a low, controlled tone that made the kits fixtures in European studios. Original Phonic drums are collected as seriously as any American vintage kit.

Sonor ProLite

Thin German beech shells

Drum kit · Germany

ProLite used thin beech shells with cross-laminated construction and Sonor's Tune-Safe lugs, and was the company's flagship production kit before the SQ line consolidated the top of the range.

Sakae Trilogy

Three-timber hybrid shells

Drum kit · Japan

Trilogy shells combine maple, birch, and beech in one lay-up rather than choosing between them, which Sakae argued gave the attack of birch with maple's low end.
