SONOR 8 pc Phonic Series Rosewood in/out 1975 Centennial RARE & EXCELLENT!

Posts: 31 Threads: 4

Thanks to all you Vintage Drum Forum viewers out there for continuing to checkout this listing! Although my beloved SONOR set sold over two years ago, the listing continues to attract attention and as of this date 31 January 2024 it has become among the most viewed in the For Sale category and did so over the shortest duration.

________________________________________________________

As of 9 May 2021 the set, yes, the entire 8 pieces, stands and all, is SOLD and paid in full. As I had so hoped for I am delighted it is going to a fellow appreciator of all things SONOR, a drum historian and expert restorer. Thanks to all for input, comments and recommendations.

Don`t listen to those fools telling you what you got. I gave it a quick once over. So far I see a 1975 Rosewood veneer in and out, all factory. The guy that told you about the manufactured finished veneers is correct but he got his times wrong (78+). That badge only went on a drum built in 1975. even if the date stamp says 76 or 77, it was built in 75. The post badge in 76 read "since 1875" and the last one (except snares*) read "EST. 1875."

Other things include those drums were the only Phonic series not to include the snaplock lugs. They used a tuning wheel. The BD`s never got either, stayed the same since the Champion series. The rosewood got a brass colored or coated badge which yours have. The rest got silver colored. You have a D-516 Snare. It`s the first run like it should be. Indicated by the small mallet logo and cut out on the lug casings. (that one`s very limited to the mid 70`s.) in 79 it got the large logo cut out lugs. in the 80`s it got flat bottom lugs.

I`m gonna go look at it again.

Oh, 14K is way out there.....It`s not a Sig. Jet set. (those were Black Maple and 22K gold electroplated trim and hardware)

It`s a drum,.....Hit It !!
