Solid Shells

The SEMPITERNVS “Solid Shell” construction involves the use of a single piece of solid wood, (among the finest timbers in the world), accurately seasoned for the highest quality standards. This piece of solid wood is then steam-bent and joined with an angle of 15° to increase the fastening surface and prevent any loss of adhesion. The thickness of the solid wood is always 5 mm, since this is the thickness designed and established to make the entire shell vibrate without any effort, enhancing the warmth of the tone and the inherent “voice” of wood. From the high dynamics of a rim-shot, up to the imperceptible ghost-note, everything is perfectly balanced and well resonating.
