I mean that Opera series are very versatile since those factors are combined.

based on the various videos and so forth, just my opinion, but i'd put good money that those drums, which are beautiful and obviously made with love, would sound substantially better if you got rid of that epoxy-resin thing and had some nice edges cut on em. that "ease of tuning" stuff is...
