Key Features

• Synthetic Calftone Technology: Crafted using a single ply of premium 12-mil Mylar blended with unique fibers to perfectly replicate the warm, rich tone and textured golden-tan appearance of traditional calfskin—completely immune to weather and humidity shifts.

• Groundbreaking Level 360 Collar: Features an optimized collar design that ensures an absolutely uniform, level fit across the bearing edge of your shell. This delivers effortless tuning, an expanded pitch range, and maximum structural resonance right out of the box.
• Balanced Acoustic Character: Unlocks a perfect combination of medium-bright attack, deep, pillowy low-end, and moderate sustain that sits beautifully in jazz, classic rock, indie, or studio acoustic sessions.
• Made in the USA: Precision engineered, manufactured, and quality-tested in Evans' state-of-the-art New York facility to guarantee absolute performance consistency.
