This absolutely beautiful Sonor S Classix snare delivers the unmistakable clarity and presence of 100% Scandinavian birch. Known for its focused attack, crisp projection, and studio-ready tone, this drum embodies German craftsmanship at its best. The beautifully figured outer veneer adds a touch of luxury, complemented by Sonor’s signature 2.3mm Power Hoops and robust dual-lug design. Sensitive and articulate across all tunings, it’s a versatile snare suited for both live and recording applications.
Condition:
This snare is in great condition overall, showing only very light signs of use. During cleaning, I noticed a very small internal hairline crack on the inner ply near the bearing edge. It's very shallow and purely cosmetic with no impact on tone or structure. There’s also a small ding on the underside bearing edge. The chrome hardware remains bright and clean, and the shell finish looks beautiful throughout. 7.5/10
