What have Tony Williams, Italian sports cars, a submarine mentioned in a Beatles song and the SONOR AQ1 Limited Edition in common?
The AQ1 Series defines the entry into the world of the SONOR Sound – a birch shell kit, completed with a 5-piece 2000 Series hardware pack in our 2 popular configurations Stage and Studio, available in 2 classic, yet stunning high gloss lacquering finishes: Piano Black and Piano White. And now available in “Lite Yellow” for a very limited time.
The AQ1 Series has been newly designed and engineered from ground up by the SONOR team in Bad Berleburg, Germany.
