They were engineered veneers made by Alpi, just about all the natural woods that Sonor offer now, with a few notable exceptions (Scandi Birch, American Walnut and a couple of others) are from them or similar, including bubinga, the Mkassar ebony etc. You can still buy those Tribal veneers directly from Alpi.
Nothing wrong with that and far more tree-friendly!
I know.. I am the one who revealed all this info more than a decade ago on the Sonormuseum.. but they did have some astonishing options that they don't have now.. Khaya Pyramide, Icebirch... and they were using the Genuine Bubinga for a period of that era.. . They also had the basic veneer like you see on the inside of the drums that they don't offer now.
