Hey guys,
great news! During the Sonor days I had the chance to talk to a real expert: Sonor master joiner Harald! We went to the veneer storage and he showed me that "my" veneer is KHAYA PYRAMID

He let me know, that this fissures are charateristic of the Khaya Pyramid, and that´s my snare in this condition a nice exemplar with a real rare finish is

I will share some pics of the snare (and a few others

) in the Sonor geeks area!
Cheers
