Hardware & Hoops

• 3 mm aluminum die-cast hoops — provide stability, clear articulation, and enhanced projection.

• Yamaha’s Hook Lug system:

  • Sleek, low-profile design.

  • Allows even tensioning and tuning stability.

  • Reduces shell contact, preserving natural resonance.

• YESS II mount system (if installed):

  • Isolates the shell to allow full vibration.

  • Minimizes hardware interference with shell tone.

  • Shell Construction

    • 11-ply hybrid shell, uniquely designed to optimize tone and projection.

    • Core layers:

      • Jatoba (dense hardwood) for powerful low end and focus.

      • Kapur (medium-density) to balance warmth and midrange.

    • Outer plies:

      • Maple, providing additional warmth and smooth resonance.

    • Matte Natural (MN) finish highlights the natural wood grain for a refined, organic look.
