The 6x14" Walnut Custom Snare Drum

$925.00

This 6×14” custom snare drum is built from solid staves of highly figured Walnut. Walnut is a domestic hardwood and this particular piece had so much cool figuring, including some sexy blonde streaks. What you see on the exterior is the same wood you’ll see on the interior - it’s not a veneer - that’s solid stave shell construction. This drum has 8 coats of hand-rubbed oil semi gloss clearcoat and roundover to 45 degree bearing edges. This custom snare drum has a huge tuning range and is a beautiful example of figured domestic wood.

  • triple flanged brass hoops

  • Custom antiqued brass lugs with brass shavings encapsulated in resin in the center point, made in Serbia

  • German Style 25 strand snare wires

    **** this particular drum has been sold but I can build one just like this, or adjust the specs to your linking. Turnaround time is usually 5-7 weeks from order date.
