Adams · Sonic (value professional)

Adams Sonic

Provenance under review. Reported as Netherlands, but the country of manufacture is not yet independently cited — the maker's page does not state one.

Build: in-house — Adams designs and builds this instrument.

Independent Dutch maker. The Sonic Series combines artisan craft with 'advanced manufacturing technology' (i.e. built differently from the fully hand-hammered E-series — worth clarifying).
