☆Used item☆ We have a used snare drum from A&F Drum Co in stock. As this is a second-hand item, there are signs of wear such as dents and dirt. A&F Drum Co., a handmade drum company in Austin, Texas. Blending new sounds with classic looks, crafted with time-honored drum-making techniques. We are a manufacturer that designs and manufactures innovative drums, hardware, cymbals, percussion, and more. This model was created with strong inspiration from the designs and colors of the vintage boats that float on the waters of Monte Carlo. This model, which evokes the image of sailing under the beautiful European seas and sunshine, uses teak wood for the shell, which is often used as the deck material for marine boats and yachts. Due to the difficulty of processing, much trial and error was required to create a snare drum with artistic elegance, combining a blue-colored shell with a natural brass hoop and low-finish parts. The shell is made of a thin combination of teak and maple with rounded outer edges. The deep sound that is characteristic of A&F is still alive and well, and the fullness and sustain that is unique to the thin shell creates a comfortable sense of inclusiveness. The attack has little metallic high-pitched components, and it produces a familiar sound in any tuning range. It's perfect for recording, studio sessions, acoustic music, pop, jazz, blues, and more, producing a sound that blends seamlessly into the ensemble while still having a strong presence. ＜Shell & Hardware Finish＞ The raw (unpainted or plated) finish on the hoops and lugs gives it a worn look, while the genuine leather spacers sandwiched between the emblems and lugs, which also help reduce the degree to which the shell is attached, and the hook-type tension bolts give it an appearance reminiscent of antique furniture. Shell: Teak & Maple 7-ply Size: 14 x 6.5 Hoops / Tensions: Natural brass hoops / 10 tensions Lugs: Low brass lugs *When attaching the hoop to the drum head, you may have to push it in. This is due to the fact that the shell and hoop are made small in accordance with A&F Drum Co.'s philosophy of sound and looks, and is not a defect. *The roundness of the shells and hoops is lower than that of major drum manufacturers, but this does not affect the sound and is not a defect.
