By zooming in and out of the bottom of the Sansula to a solid surface, a curious wa-wa effect can be produced. The Renaissance model differs from the basic model in that the membrane is made with a super resistant membrane from the Remo brand, which is usually used as a percussion instrument head, maintaining the loudness practically 100% compared to the basic model.
