Up for sale is an incredibly rare, vintage 1986 Sonor Lite 16" x 17" floor tom (Model LFT 16) in a stunning Black Lacquer finish. ✔️

Made in Germany during the golden era of Sonor craftsmanship. ✔️

Collector’s Note on Rarity:

Finding a Sonor Lite floor tom in this specific, deep 16" x 17" "power" size is an absolute needle in a haystack today. While smaller rack toms appear occasionally, standalone 16-inch Lite floor toms in this finish are virtually impossible to find on the secondary market. If you are looking to complete or expand your high-end vintage Sonor Lite kit, this is a once-in-a-decade opportunity. ✔️

Impeccable Condition:

This drum has been preserved in Collectors / museum-grade, pristine vintage condition. It is clear it has been treated with utmost respect throughout its 40-year history. ( Pictured) ✔️

Important: used condition don't have warranty and not returnable, please write questions before payment ✍️ ✔️

Finish: The high-gloss Black Lacquer finish looks phenomenal, retaining its deep mirror-like reflection with only the most microscopic signs of handling. No major scratches, no fading, and no lacquer lifting. ✔️

Shell & Edges: The interior 9-ply Scandinavian Birch (6mm) shell looks fresh from the factory. The bearing edges are 100% untouched, original, and perfectly flat. ✔️

Hardware & Hardware Originality: 100% all-original hardware. The chrome plating on the hoops, signature lugs, and leg brackets is absolutely clean, showing zero rust and only few parts pitting. (Pictured) ✔️
