The Phonic turns 50 in 2025. If Sonor does release something to honor the line, it will sound and look much like these.

the Newport run used the same shells with a different finish

Surprising for a pretty thick 8mm shell...


Here is the 5mm Sonor shell.

The 8mm is the new heavy in the SQ2 layup and seems to be the baseline moving forward

Exactly right. I had a set of both at one point.
